Oversupply of rental property is unlikely in the future." }, { "question": "Question - What if interest rates go up ?", "answer": "Answer - In a free market economy, interest rates may rise and fall largely due to the intervention of the Reserve Bank.

[ { "question": "What do I need to do to prepare for class?", "answer": "Wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in, and protects your dignity. People often wear an extra layer for warmth at the beginning and end of each class. Yoga is done without shoes, typically (but not always) in bare feet. It is customary to remove shoes before entering a room where yoga will be practiced. Be mindful that the smells you like, others may find unpleasant. Avoid wearing perfumes and colognes. Yoga is best practiced on an empty stomach. Avoid eating at least 1-2 hour prior to class or more for heavy meals, but stay well hydrated. You will need a non-slip yoga mat. New students are welcome to borrow a mat for the first few weeks. Mats are available in sports shops, discount stores and online (e.g. www.yogamatters.com). Don't worry if you forget your mat- there are a few on hand to borrow. You may wish to bring some water." }, { "question": "What does the teacher need to know about me?", "answer": "Always inform the yoga teacher about any injuries, health problems, or pregnancy.

[ { "question": "Thinking of getting a \"Lyft\" from a ridesharing service?", "answer": "Make sure you’re covered if you get hurt as a passenger. Ridesharing is becoming more common around the state and the nation, particularly in large cities. Capitalizing on the new \"sharing economy\" and to a certain extent the coolness factor, this simple concept is thriving. Passengers, however, are generally not aware of the insurance implications, and that their driver’s insurance may not properly cover them. A: In the new sharing economy, ridesharing allows vehicle owners to transport passengers in their own cars for a fee or a \"donation.\" Drivers sign up with a service that charges a fee to connect passengers with drivers via a website or smartphone app. Passengers arrange rides and pay with a credit card using the app." }, { "question": "Q: Why is ridesharing an issue?", "answer": "A: Ridesharing is not the same as riding in a taxi or limousine. Taxis are licensed by the state or a local authority and subject to strict standards, from vehicle inspection and driver licensing to insurance that protects passengers and others who could be hurt in an accident. Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) such as Uber or Lyft are not subject to the same requirements. However, they have drawn increasing attention from state regulators and legislators concerned that the public may not be properly protected. In fact, various state regulators have issued consumer alerts to warn the public about possible risks of using a ridesharing app when riding as a passenger." }, { "question": "Q: How is the ridesharing company insured?", "answer": "A: Insurance is the crux of the issue. Drivers are using their personal vehicles. Personal auto insurance generally excludes coverage when transporting passengers for a fee. An increasing number of TNCs are indicating that they are going to provide some protection by covering the driver’s commercial exposure for liability and collision coverage. The nature and scope of coverage provided by the TNC varies from company to company, and its coordination with the driver’s personal auto policy can leave uninsured gaps, in some cases significant." }, { "question": "Q: How do I know if I’m covered as a driver?", "answer": "If you have a personal auto policy yourself, you may be able to claim some coverage under your policy if you are hurt in an accident as a passenger. If you do not own a car, you will not have that option, unless you purchased a \"named non-owner\" policy. We can tell you more about this if you’d like." }, { "question": "How likely is it that a bad claim will occur?", "answer": "A: There is no way of knowing what kind of accident will occur. Hopefully, none. However, many of the insurance issues that have come to light have stemmed from catastrophic claims. One in California where a six-year old girl was killed in a collision with a rideshare car. While often downplayed by those who have an interest in the ridesharing business, coordination between the commercial and personal auto policies can pose challenges. The timing and circumstances of any accident will have a bearing on whether coverage extends to the driver and the passenger. At this time, coverage gaps still exist in a number of circumstances." }, { "question": "Q: Is this insurance issue settled?", "answer": "A: No. Between challenges from Public Utility Commissions, restrictions on licenses to operate, and the Legislature contemplating new laws to address proper insurance coverage (amongst other things), the issue is not settled. While not readily available at this time, some personal auto insurers may revisit the issue and consider new ways to close those gaps in insurance." } ]

[ { "question": "What should I do if I see a hazard in my workplace?", "answer": "You need to report it immediately to your manager. It’s the law. It’s a good idea to report it in writing so that you have proof that you complied with the law. It is your managers’ and employers’ legal responsibility to act on it. I reported the hazard but it is still there after quite a while." }, { "question": "Now what?", "answer": "If the issue is not resolved quickly, tell a member of your Joint Health and Safety Committee and your Bargaining Unit President. If hazards are not resolved, it can be escalated to senior management and/or the Ministry of Labour. It’s important to raise concerns as high and as quickly as necessary to protect workers." }, { "question": "What is a Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC)?", "answer": "A JHSC is a committee that is made up of worker members selected by the unions and workers they represent, and management-selected members to represent the employer. Together they aim to improve health and safety conditions in a workplace." }, { "question": "How can I become involved in health and safety issues in my workplace?", "answer": "This is great news! As a first step, you should speak with your Bargaining Unit President about how you can become involved. She may suggest many things like becoming a health and safety rep or sitting on the JHSC. Good luck!" } ]

[ { "question": "Are there performance figures for all Re-Mapped files?", "answer": "No. It is impractical to produce graphs for all engine variations. There are simply thousands of variations in maps. The power output of an engine will depend on age, oil condition, temperature, air pressure. Yes. Most insurance companies require you to notify them of any modifications to your vehicle. This includes modifications such as stainless steel exhausts or different alloy wheels. Some insurance companies will add a premium to your policy, others will not. Re-Mapped software files are invisible and it is impossible to detect that the engine tuned data has been modified." } ]

[ { "question": "Is It Necessary To Have A Written Employment Contract?", "answer": "It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you are trying to enforce an employment agreement or wish to sue for breach of an agreement, the agreement needs to be in writing in order to be enforceable. Oral agreements or the proverbial \"handshake deal\" on matters such as compensation, benefits and duration of employment will not be enforced. The contract can either be contained in a separate document or in an employee handbook or manual. The employee handbook or manual should state whether or not it is intended to serve as a contract of employment. Many employee handbooks and manuals state that they are not intended to be construed as a contract." }, { "question": "What Does Employment \"At-Will\" Mean?", "answer": "It means that both the employer and employee can terminate the employment relationship at any time unless both the employee and the employer have signed a written contract to the contrary that either (1) states that the employment relationship shall remain in effect for a specified duration of time, or (2) lists other restrictions on the right of one or both parties to terminate the employment relationship. At-will employees can be terminated for no reason at all, but they cannot be fired for an illegal reason. Examples of illegal reasons are where the employee is terminated in retaliation for exercising a legal right, or for refusing to violate a law, or if the termination violates a state or federal law such as the laws against discrimination or the Family and Medical Leave Act." }, { "question": "Is Arizona A \"Right-To-Work\" State?", "answer": "Yes, but that term is often misunderstood. Being a \"right-to-work\" state means that if employees decide to form a union, an employee cannot be fired for deciding not to join the union or for deciding to leave it. Right-to-work laws prohibit union security agreements, or agreements between employers and labor unions, that govern the extent to which an established union can require employees' membership, payment of union dues or fees as a condition of employment, either before or after hiring. Right-to-work laws are not designed to provide a guarantee of employment to people seeking work, but rather, are designed to prevent employers and labor unions from agreeing to exclude nonunion workers or require all employees to pay union fees." }, { "question": "My Employer Says I Have To Go Through Arbitration: Is That True?", "answer": "Many employers have their employees sign agreements in which they agree to waive their right to a jury trial and agree that all disputes between them will be resolved through arbitration. Arbitration is a more informal legal proceeding in which the case is decided, but often under a different set of rules than would apply if the case was tried in state or federal court. Agreements to arbitrate are often enforced, but can be challenged on several grounds depending upon the specific language of the arbitration provision and whether the provision creates a hardship for the employee. To speak with an attorney about your case, you can reach out to us online or call 480-900-5192 to schedule a consultation. We are located in Scottsdale and work throughout Arizona." } ]

[ { "question": "Garam Masala vs Curry Powder: How Are They Different?", "answer": "Garam masala and curry powder are both blends of spices, but are very different ingredients." }, { "question": "Is Curry Powder a Good Substitute for Garam Masala?", "answer": "Both curry powder and garam masala have quite distinct tastes. That being said, they both go well with the same types of meal, so curry powder is a decent substitute in a pinch. However, the recipe as a whole will taste different than it’s meant to (not necessarily in a bad way). You can see from the table at the beginning that curry powders are made from a wider range of ingredients than garam masala powders. I only listed the most popular, but there are around 20 spices that often go into curries. The relative amount of ingredients in each spice blend is also different. Curry typically uses a lot of turmeric, which is responsible for the yellow color and a distinct taste. The next time you go shopping, take a look at the ingredients of 2 different curry powders. The ingredients are almost certainly different. There’s no one “right” recipe for either spice blend, because many variations of the spices taste great. One advantage of making your own powder instead of buying in bulk is that you can make a new flavor each time if you’d like." } ]

[ { "question": "What are the Benefits of having Multiple Locations?", "answer": "When we refer to our virtual office network, we’re referring to the 60 Intelligent Office locations across the United States and Canada. Many businesses use a single virtual office location as a home for their business operations. When you’re a member of Intelligent Office at one location, you’re a member at every location. Here’s how you can take advantage of our expansive network. For businesses or professionals that operate on a national or even statewide scale, access to multiple virtual office locations allows them to meet with prospects and customers who are located throughout the country. For example, legal professionals must meet with clients on a regular basis and even more often when a trial is approaching. If a legal professional based in northern Virgina, has a case with clients located in anywhere else in the greater DC metro area, the attorney would be able to meet in any of the eight Intelligent Office locations. This would allow them to more efficiently meet with their client, prepare for trial, and cooperate with the court. Developing businesses must cultivate an image that projects professionalism, competence, and ultimately, success. The Intelligent Office network of virtual office locations provides practical tools for creating this image, including a professional staff, executive offices, and fully equipped conference rooms. But it also provides a boost of credibility in the form of a virtual address.

A network of virtual office locations provides access to a workspace no matter where an event takes you.

The stone should (usually) be removed by PCNL, which is less invasive and results in early recovery. Laparoscopic hernia and open hernia have similar results, and in any case the kidney surgery is more major surgery." } ]

On push mower engines they are stamped into a plate above the muffler. 3." }, { "question": "Does the engine come with an exhaust/muffler?", "answer": "​​Most smaller engines for things like push mowers, pressure washers, and log splitters come with an exhaust. Larger engines for riding mowers and zero turns do not. The exhaust and muffler are made by the manufacturer of the equipment and not the engines themselves. This way they can fit the individual space constraints of each mower. When replacing an engine with a different one than what it originally came with, you would have to contact a dealer of your equipment to see if they have an exhaust that will fit the engine to the mower if you are not able to fabricate one yourself. 4." }, { "question": "The model numbers are the same, will this engine replace mine?", "answer": "​​Even though the model numbers are the same it may have a different spec/type number. Depending on what it was designed for they may have slight differences. The biggest issue is shaft size. For example, even if the model number is the same, one may use a 1” diameter shaft and one may use a 1-1/8” diameter. There may also be differences in the wiring depending on what charging system it has. Briggs single cylinder Inteks for example are ones who use different alternators on the same model engines. Some may have a 9 amp system for an electric clutch PTO and some may have a dual circuit for manual blade engagement. Another difference could be the fuel pump. Some engines have a duel pump where others do not. If your tank is above the engine yours would be gravity fed. If the tank is below the engine/under the seat, you would require a fuel pump. 5." }, { "question": "I have my model number, why are you asking for the size of the crankshaft?", "answer": "​​This is mainly because we are not selling the normal replacement engines. We buy many of our engines surplus through Original Equipment Manufacturers. These will be different model numbers than those offered by the engine manufacturers. By matching your engine by description, we can potentially save you quite a bit of money." } ]

[ { "question": "Am I too old to learn Tai Chi?", "answer": "Almost certainly you are not too old. We have trained people into their 90s and often in their 70s and 80s. The test of course is for you to come along and give a session a go and see how it is for you." }, { "question": "It looks complicated, will I ever learn it?", "answer": "The moves are all natural but many of them require you to move your body in ways that are unusual to a beginning student (like stepping sideways). However like any new thing, some students take to it quickly and some take longer. The really great thing about learning Tai Chi is that although you generally do it in a group, it is an individual pursuit. So you will take as long to learn it as you need to and that is just fine." }, { "question": "Do I need to be fit to learn Tai Chi?", "answer": "A session lasts an hour and you will be on your feet for that length of time (as a beginner if you needed to take a short break, that would, of course be fine). Other than that there is no fitness requirement for commencing Tai Chi." }, { "question": "I won't be able to train regularly, is that a problem?", "answer": "Not for us :) Obviously most people progress faster the more often they train but Tai Chi is not a race and as I often say, 'It's easy for life to get in the way' - so if you miss a week or if you miss a year, you will always be welcome to return and carry on. Seriously, Tai Chi is an enormous field of study. One that you could spend all day every day studying and still only know a relatively little about it. There are different styles and different sub-styles and much much more to learn if you wanted to. So perhaps a better question is 'How long will it take me to learn enough Tai Chi so that I start to get some benefit from it?' The answer to that is much kinder. You should start to derive some benefit from your first session and within a few months be able to see that there are changes in the way you utilise your body and you should find that normal movement should start to feel more relaxed and 'smoother'. If you are subject to stress then once you have learned even the first beginners form (Eight Move One Step Form) then you should be able to practice and perform that and find that it helps reduce stress. There is much more, but a chat with Robert Agar-Hutton is probably the most efficient way to answer additional questions." }, { "question": "I've done a different style of Tai Chi before, will I fit in?", "answer": "We will be happy to have you train with us. You will have to learn new things but hopefully some of the things that you learned in your previous style will still be useful. Come along and give it a go and then you will be able to see if our way of doing things meets your needs." } ]

This is one of your typical video game puzzles where you need to find all of the clues (even the wrong ones) before being able to guess. You need to find all 9 passwords hidden around the garage in order to proceed. You will likely get stuck and need to find the last password. The passwords are all in obvious locations, but what will likely catch you out and leave you with 8 out of 9 passwords is the fact that some locations have 2 potential passwords hidden them. For example the sun visor in the car. I didn’t know there was 2 pages and spent way too long trying to find the 9th password thinking I had already checked the sun visor. Here are the locations that you will find password. Drawer next to laptop – Gets stepdad password. Drawers next to gun cabinet – there is a password in each drawer.

Bulletin Bag features custom bags made from a wide assortment of materials and fabrics. Each one material carries its own advantages and disadvantages, so the best reusable bags really ARE in the eye of the beholder, er, project manager! While it’s true that manufacturing and shipping reusable bags has an impact on the environment, any reusable bag is more environmentally friendly than the alternative: single use paper or plastic bags. High quality bags are often better for the environment in more ways than one." }, { "question": "So, how do you pick the best reusable bag for your needs?", "answer": "Read about your material options in this guide to help with your decision. You may also want to look at how to wash reusable bags as well. Sometimes, the best reusable grocery bags are those that you don’t have to spend extra time cleaning! • Can be machine washed, with like colors, in cold water. We recommend air drying to reduce shrinkage and to preserve the longevity of any printing. • As with anything made from 100% cotton, bags can shrink and wrinkle with machine washing (to limit this, wash in cold water and air dry). HEMP grows well without pesticides or fertilizers and is drought tolerant. Each acre yields three to six tons of dry fiber. Hemp fibers are one of Earth’s longest, strongest and most durable fibers and are several times stronger than cotton. JUTE is a natural plant fiber, often referred to as hessian or burlap. POLYPROPYLENE is a form of plastic—a flexible resin polymer. Nonwoven polypropylene bags are regarded as the best reusable grocery bags by some, due to their low cost and relative durability. The primary market measurement for nonwoven polypropylene bags is GSM (grams per square meter). GSM measures the weight and density of the material. The higher the GSM, the stronger the material. The fabric density is directly correlated to the quality and durability of the bag. GSM is indicated on almost all of our nonwoven polypropylene reusable bags. If it is not specified, please contact us for more information. Polypropylene can also be woven, though it’s not as common a material. We offer several woven polypropylene bags, though most are produced overseas at large quantities only. NYLON is a type of synthetic polymer originally made to replace silk in fabrics. POLYESTER is a polymer typically made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the same material found in drink bottles. Polyester can be recycled through reheating, thereby converting back into polymer fibers for further reuse. RECYCLED PET is a durable, eco-friendly fabric made from post consumer recycled plastic bottles and containers. Using recycled PET reduces waste and conserves oil and non-renewable resources. Reusable bags made from recycled PET create a market for post-consumer recycled materials. Some of our best-selling reusable bags are the ones that are made from recycled materials!" } ]

[ { "question": "How do I know if I have an <$15,000 Claim?", "answer": "Your damage consists of superficial cracking, falling indoor tiles, plastering, wallpapering and cracks in your walls, or other non-structural damage. Your claim or claims relate to a stand-alone dwelling rather than multi-unit building. If the above points describe your situation, then your overall home repairs are likely to cost less than $15,000 and you will probably be cash settled." }, { "question": "Why is EQC cash settling claims for under $15,000?", "answer": "Where the damage is cosmetic in nature and simply requires repairs such as plastering, painting and wallpapering, it makes sense to pay these claims in cash, so homeowners can get on with doing the repairs themselves or organising someone to do it for them." }, { "question": "Why are Multi-unit buildings with minor cosmetic damage not settled at the same time?", "answer": "A multi-unit building is a building containing two or more units or flats which share structural elements such as foundations or party walls. This includes houses that have been divided into two or more flats, as well as purpose-built buildings that have more than one unit/flat in them, e.g. apartments, townhouses or blocks of flats. Multi-unit building claims have a number of complexities that don’t apply to stand-alone houses. This includes the requirement of EQC to assess the whole building as well as the individual units in that building to determine an appropriate repair strategy. All flat owners in the building may need to agree on that repair strategy, if it is likely to impact on structural elements in the building. Even if some individual units contain only non-structural damage, those units may be affected by structural repairs required to the building." } ]

[ { "question": "How does our court system work?", "answer": "If you have been injured at the fault of someone else, chances are you may have compensation coming to you. Follow the questions and answers below to help determine what to do with your current situation." }, { "question": "Why Do I Need Liability Insurance On My Vehicle?", "answer": "For one, it is the law. Many states require that drivers have some minimum amount of automobile liability insurance. The amount of coverage required may vary from state to state. In Colorado, the minimum amount of liability coverage is $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. Even if liability insurance is not mandatory in your state, it is still a pretty good idea to carry enough insurance coverage to protect yourself in the event you are at fault in an automobile accident. To illustrate the importance of automobile liability insurance let us assume that you were driving with three passengers in your vehicle. You are momentarily inattentive and run a red light, striking another vehicle that is carrying a family of four. The three passengers in your vehicle are injured, along with the occupants of the other vehicle. A total of seven people are injured as a result of running the red light. Each of the seven injured people can sue you personally for their medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and a host of other damages. If you had no liability insurance at the time of the accident, you could be held personally liable for the full extent of the damages caused by your negligence. Buying an automobile liability policy after you have had an accident is not the answer. Automobile insurance policies will not cover an accident that has already occurred. In addition, no policy will pay more than its policy limits. You may be personally responsible for any amounts owed the injured people. If you have automobile liability insurance the insurance company is responsible for hiring a lawyer to defend you should you be sued by the injured people. However, if you have excess exposure (i.e., personal exposure that exceeds your policy limits), you should have your own personal attorney represent you. If an excess judgment is rendered against you, your assets (house, wages, bank accounts, vehicles etc.) may be subject to seizure or garnishment. You should have enough insurance to protect the assets you have acquired. Your personal financial situation will dictate the amount of automobile liability insurance coverage that is adequate for you. An at-fault accident can have devastating financial consequences. Typically, a case will not be taken to trial if the defendant does not have adequate insurance to pay the judgment. However, in rare cases, if the defendant has personal assets, a case is sometimes brought. Therefore, make sure you have in place adequate automobile insurance coverage." }, { "question": "What Is UM And UIM And Why Do I Need This Insurance?", "answer": "Colorado law requires that all drivers have at least $25,000 in automobile liability insurance coverage." }, { "question": "But, what happens if your personal injuries and medical bills are more than the offending driver's $25,000 policy?", "answer": "Unless the person causing the wreck has significant personal assets, you will not be able to recover the full extent of your damages. This loss can be devastating to you and your family. That is why UM or UIM Coverage is so important. In fact it may be the most important insurance coverage you can buy. Essentially, Uninsured /Underinsured Motorist Coverage (\"UM/UIM Coverage\") provides compensation to you, your family members and anyone occupying your vehicle, if you are injured by a careless driver who has no insurance or not enough insurance to cover your loss. UM/UIM coverage allows you to collect any additional compensation from your own insurance company, up to the limits of your UM/UIM coverage. Unless you have UM/UIM coverage, you may not be able to collect for your own personal injuries, medical bills, wage loss and other damages, if the other driver did not have enough automobile liability insurance. If you already have automobile liability coverage, then you automatically have UM/UIM coverage up to the limits of your liability limits, unless you sign a document called a Waiver Form. The Waiver Form allows you to waive UM/UIM coverage, or select UM/UIM coverage at limits lower than your liability limits. We strongly suggest that you do not waive this coverage and purchase the highest limits available in order to protect you and your family. We have seen families financially ruined when the major bread winner is injured by an uninsured or underinsured driver. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!!! Finally, do not rely on an insurance agent's representation that you have \"full coverage.\" Full coverage does not necessarily mean you have UM/UIM coverage. We encourage you to pull out your insurance policy and check to see that you have adequate uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. If you do not have UM/UIM coverage, then contact your agent, pay the additional premium and protect yourself first! If you have a question concerning UM/UIM coverage, or need additional information, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to answer your question without charge. Drive safe, and be smart. Personal umbrella liability insurance financially protects you against a catastrophic lawsuit or judgment. It provides expanded liability coverage over and above your primary liability protection. It increases the coverage afforded under your homeowners/renters and auto insurance policies. Do not assume that your automobile and homeowners insurance coverage provide you with enough liability protection. If you have significant assets you need to consider additional insurance coverage. A serious personal injury can leave you exposed to a financial exposure over and above your ability to pay. These policies are generally sold to individuals who have significant assets to protect. Contrary to popular belief, these policies are not just for the very wealthy. Individuals with high or above average incomes may need this type of protection as well. High-income earners may face financial ruin if they are faced with a significant personal injury judgment that exceeds their limits of liability insurance. Let us assume that you are at fault in causing a very serious motor vehicle accident that kills or significantly injures another driver. You have only $100,000 in automobile liability insurance on your car. The injured party has injuries and medical bills that exceed your $100,000 policy. Without an umbrella policy, you may be responsible for paying for all the injured person's damages, over and above the limits of your $100,000 liability policy. An umbrella policy provides you with an additional layer of protection that would pay over and above the limits of your underlying policy. An excess insurance policy will not only protect you if you are involved in an automobile accident, but also protects you in the event you are held liable for an accident that occurs at your home. As mentioned above, an umbrella policy expands the coverage afforded under your auto liability policy and your homeowners liability policy. Without adequate insurance, even a high-income earning individual could be forced into bankruptcy by a judgment in excess of his available insurance coverage. If your assets exceed $100,000 you may wish to consider an umbrella policy." }, { "question": "What Do I Do If I Am In An Automotive Accident?", "answer": "Answer: Stay calm, investigate, and let the medical professional do his or her job! When you are involved in an automobile accident you may not be thinking as clearly as you should. Knowing what to do at the scene could not only save someone's life, but it could also help you at a later point. If you have been involved in an accident, the most important thing to do is immediately ensure the safety of the people involved in the accident. This means that you must take steps to secure the scene and your passengers or the passengers of the other vehicle from further danger. To secure the scene may require that the vehicles be moved from a busy highway over to the shoulder of the road. It may also mean that road flares or other safety cones or triangles commonly contained in safety kits in the trunk, be used to clearly mark and protect the scene from oncoming traffic. The keys should immediately be removed from the ignition to prevent an accidental spark that could cause a fire. The vehicles should also be checked for leaking gas or other potentially flammable liquid. Next, the passengers or occupants of the vehicles should be checked for injury. Do not attempt to move injured persons unless their lives are immediately threatened by an immediate peril. If a person has a severe injury like a broken back or neck, moving them could cause permanent damage or injury. Once the scene and passengers are secured, call 911 from a cellphone or local telephone. Speak clearly and calmly. Help can be delayed if the location is not clearly communicated. Use landmarks, road signs or mile markers to assist with the accident location. Also, be sure to specify the type of emergency vehicles that will be needed such as an ambulance, fire truck, etc. The next item is to make sure that the other driver's important information is recorded. Get the name of the driver and the occupants, the driver's license numbers of all persons, the insurance information, the owner of the vehicle's information, addresses, phone numbers and work information. Record the make, model and license plate number of all involved vehicles. Also, since many people who may witness the accident often leave the scene before the police arrive, immediately record the information of any witnesses. Attempt to elicit a statement from them about what they saw. If the witness cannot remain on the scene, make sure you give their information to the investigating police officer so he can interview them at a later date. It may also be important to record the exact time of the accident that can be reported to the police. You may also want to observe the other vehicle to see if any obvious mechanical problems are apparent. Malfunctioning headlights, blinkers or other items could later prove to be significant. Again, report any visible signs to the investigating officer. With the overuse of cellphones on today's highways, be sure to report cellphone use observed of the other driver to the investigating police officer. Cellphone records can be matched to the approximate time of the accident. Finally, since serious injuries may not be immediately apparent, do not be quick to deny injury until a physician checks you out. Many people become too embarrassed to confess to injury for fear of being perceived as a litigant. Allow EMT personnel to examine you for injury. If possible take pictures of the scene or return as soon as possible to take pictures of the scene. Yes. Many people who are involved in an automobile accident are too embarrassed to seek medical treatment, especially when the initial bumps and bruises do not seem serious or the onset of the symptoms does not immediately occur. After an accident, an initial evaluation at a local emergency room is recommended. X-rays can be performed, which will generally rule out broken bones or fractures. Muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory medications can be prescribed to address muscle strains or pulls. Of course, not every accident produces injury. However, if the onset of a serious injury is delayed, the failure to have a medical complaint recorded can affect your chances of recovery. Back and neck injuries like herniated disks are not always immediately determinable. They are often initially diagnosed as \"soft tissue\" injuries before an MRI or CT scan reveals a disk injury. Normal X-ray film is generally not diagnostic of disk injuries. The mechanism of injury may not always be obvious to a person injured in an automobile accident. For instance, there are many documented cases of carpel tunnel syndrome caused by a person tightly clenching the steering wheel during an accident. Since the wrists may not have slammed into a part of the car, the person involved in the injury may not associate this problem with the car accident until it is too late to make a claim. Moreover, many insurance adjusters will refuse to pay claims when there has been a delay in receiving treatment or when large gaps in the treatment have occurred. Even though there are explainable and legitimate reasons for the delay or gap in treatment, victims may end up either uncompensated or undercompensated. It is not uncommon for accident victims to leave the scene of the accident feeling that they were uninjured and wake up the next day or two later with extreme soreness, tightness or muscle spasm. In these instances, immediate medical attention should be sought from your doctor. Again, documentation of the onset of injury is important in establishing a causal link between an accident and an injury. If an injury has been diagnosed by your physician, make sure you keep your appointments and scheduled treatments. Insurance adjusters will argue that you must be well or feeling fine if you do not go to the doctor. This is true even if all the physician is doing is examining you and prescribing new medications that do not seem to be working. Documentation of your pain and suffering is essential to successfully pursuing a claim. Moreover, unsuccessful conservative treatment will eventually lead to your doctor becoming more aggressive to seek a treatment or diagnosis that will help your recovery. Most insurance contracts require that you cooperate with your own insurance company when a claim is filed. This means that if your own insurance company contacts you, you will likely have to discuss the accident with them. However, if you have already retained an attorney by the time you are contacted by your own insurance company you should tell them to contact your attorney to arrange any discussion or meeting about the accident. Generally, you are not legally required to cooperate or discuss the accident with the insurance company for the other driver. However, this does not usually stop the other insurance company from attempting to contact you and obtain a statement from you about how the accident occurred and any resulting injuries. Be very wary about adjusters who contact you requesting a statement from you or other information such as medical records, etc., in order to \"settle your claim.\" For the most part, the only reason the adjuster for the other insurance company wants your statement is so they can attempt to build a defense against your claim or minimize their payment of the claim. More than once adjusters have contacted unsuspecting accident victims under the pretext of helping them settle the claim and then turn around and use the information obtained from the victim in an attempt to minimize the claim. Moreover, your medical condition may not be fully diagnosed or known when you speak with an adjuster for the other insurance company and therefore an inaccurate picture of your damages may get conveyed. One of the reasons adjusters attempt to contact victims early on in the case is so they can set a reserve value that they believe the case is worth. Once that reserve value of the case is established, it becomes very difficult to get an adjuster to settle the case above that amount. If inaccurate information went into the setting of the reserve amount, then you have effectively ensured that litigation must be filed and the case potentially tried to a judge or jury instead of a reasonable settlement offer being extended. However, this does not mean that you should avoid speaking to all adjusters in every case. If your injuries are conclusively established as minimal or it is clear that the total insurance coverage available is minimal, and no other coverage is available, you may wish to talk to the adjuster to conclude the matter quickly. This could also work to your advantage if the police report clearly places fault on the other driver. If you are in doubt about whether or not to talk to an adjuster, you should consult an attorney. Once you inform the adjuster that you have retained an attorney, they are prohibited from contacting you directly again. They must work through your attorney to resolve the matter. Many people prefer not to negotiate or deal with the adjuster and would prefer an experienced attorney to handle the matter for them. More often than not, the attorney will be more successful in getting you a fair settlement or judgment than most people can obtain on their own with the adjuster. This is because attorneys know how adjusters evaluate the value of a case and know what courts will likely award for similar injuries if the case does not settle. Some insurance companies have recently been sued for sending out written information to their insureds telling them not to contact an attorney. Be careful if an insurance adjuster tells you not to hire an attorney. This usually means that they are trying to offer you a \"lowball\" settlement and do not want you to know it. Although the decision to speak to the insurance adjuster for the other company is really a judgment call on your part, it is usually wise to contact an attorney before you do so to make sure you do not inadvertently hurt your own claim. Following an automobile accident, there is a lot of information that will need to be gathered before you file a claim, contact an attorney or file suit. The earlier you begin to assemble this information, the more likely it will be accurate and complete. The exact type of information will depend partly on the laws of the state in which the accident occurred. Different states have different laws regarding the type of damages an automobile accident victim can collect. However, most states have laws that are designed to place the victim in the same position he would have been in had the accident not happened. This has been referred to as making the victim \"whole.\" In most accidents, an investigating police officer is called to the scene where he fills out a detailed preprinted accident report form. This form contains much information about the accident and the parties involved. Thus, a good starting point in gathering information is to obtain the accident report. Although the officer does not usually give the accident victims a copy of the report at the scene, he will give them an item number or reference number that the accident victim can take to the police records department a few days later and obtain a copy of the report. You should also get a copy of your own automobile insurance policy. Even if you are not at fault in an accident, your own insurance company may have obligations to pay medical expenses, property damage and even personal injury damages if the other driver does not have insurance sufficient to cover your damages. Obtain copies of emergency room treatment records and any office records from any physicians you may have seen after the accident. You may even want to obtain your physician records from before the accident to help prove that your injuries were caused by the accident and not pre-existing. If your injuries have caused you to miss work or use vacation or sick leave, you may want to copy your income tax returns for the last three years, W-2 forms, and paycheck stubs. All of these items will help you establish a wage loss. Obtain copies of estimates to repair your vehicle's property damage. If you get more than one estimate, be sure to get copies of all estimates. Remember, with property damage, make sure your repair shop is using new parts where necessary and not simply estimating the cost of patchwork or bondo on your fenders. Obtain names and addresses of any witnesses to the accident. If possible, get statements from them about what they witnessed. The names and addresses of all occupants and drivers involved in the accident and their respective insurance information is also important to obtain. If possible, take pictures of your injuries, the damage to your vehicle and even the accident scene. Such pictures could be critical evidence to an expert accident reconstructionist if it becomes necessary to litigate the claim at a later date. Pictures of injuries can help others understand the degree of pain and suffering your injuries caused to you. Information can easily be lost, changed or destroyed over time. The sooner you gather the information, the more likely it is to be accurate and complete. Even if you do not think you will file a claim, it is easier to gather the information early and discard it later than it is to recreate information that was not obtained at the beginning. If you are involved in an automobile accident and it involves property damage only with little if no personal injury, you may do well to handle the case yourself or with your own insurance company. If you have collision coverage your own insurance company will be responsible for paying for your property damage, minus the deductible. Once your insurance company has paid your claim, it has the right to seek reimbursement or subrogation from the insurance company or person responsible for the accident. Your insurance company will not pursue a claim for any personal injury suffered by you or your passengers. That type of claim will have to be pursued by you. It may be done individually or through a personal injury attorney. If your physical injury is minimal, i.e., bumps and bruises and resolves in a few days or a week it may not be worth hiring an attorney to pursue the claim. For that reason, it is always a good idea to see a doctor and have a medical record documenting your injury. If your physical injury involves anything more than bumps and bruises that resolve quickly it is probably a good idea to seek the advice of a good and reputable personal injury attorney. An experienced attorney will know how to properly evaluate your claim and collect the full measure of your damages. For example, even if you use sick time to take off from work the law may allow you to collect that money from the responsible party under what is called the \"collateral source rule\". Likewise, even if your medical bills were paid by insurance, an experienced attorney may be able to have the defendant pay those expenses as well, even though they have already been paid by your own personal insurance. An experienced attorney will know what rules apply to your particular circumstances and use those rules to your benefit. Dealing with the insurance company on your own may result in recovering less than your claim is worth. An insurance company adjuster's job is to save the insurance company money. They have no duty to insure that you recover what your claim is worth. In fact, their job performance rating is based on how much they save the insurance company. Finally, if your claim is minimal you may not need a lawyer to represent you. The problem is that you may not know the value of your potential claim until you seek professional advice. At the very least, talk to a reputable personal injury lawyer before dealing with the insurance company yourself. It is the only way you can be sure you get paid the value of your claim. Answer: Usually one-third (33 and 1/3 percent on a personal injury claim, 20 percent on a workers' compensation claim and a flat rate for criminal defense. We handle personal injury, wrongful death and workers' compensation cases on a \"contingency\" basis. That means we get paid a percentage of what we collect. If we do not collect on your case, you owe us no fee. If we settle your personal injury case, our fee is typically one-third of the amount collected. However, if the case goes to trial and we collect a money judgment, our fee is typically raised to 40 percent of the amount collected. These rates may be flexible either upward or downward depending on the complexity of the case. Colorado law sets the rate of compensation in workers' compensation cases to 20 percent of the amount collected. If temporary benefits are being awarded when we get the case, we do not take any fees from those amounts. We take our fee from the permanent benefits or lump-sum settlement at the end of the case. The flat rate charged for criminal defense depends on the case and the crime you are accused of committing. Some defenses are simpler than others and, therefore, the fee is less. We would need to discuss the particulars of your case in order to reach an agreement on fees. However, we handle most criminal defense cases on a flat rate. That way, you are not surprised by a large bill at the end of the case that was not anticipated in the beginning. The decision to make a claim against an insurance company generally should be based upon the fault of the other driver and the extent of injuries and damages you suffered as a result. Of course, not every auto accident will or should result in a claim. This is especially true in the situation where the thought process is to collect a few thousand dollars as part of some nuisance-type settlement. When claims are made, they can be discovered in any subsequent litigation and could potentially hurt an otherwise legitimate case. Thus, the decision to pursue the claim should be made only when an injury and medical expenses have been sustained. Once the decision to pursue the claim has been made, the next determination is how to go about making the claim. The answer to this question may depend on which insurance company you are attempting to make a claim against, yours or the other driver's. When an accident occurs, the police are called to the scene and the investigating officer will fill out an accident report. He will then give to both drivers a copy of the item number or accident report number so that the accident report can be obtained when he is finished completing it. The report will contain the names of the other driver and insurance company. It also usually contains the policy number under which the other driver is insured. Virtually all insurance companies have toll free numbers for reporting claims that can be used to report the accident. Of course, you will need the name of their insured, policy number, date of accident, and item or accident report number. They may also seek information about your insurance. Then a claim number will be assigned to your claim that you can use for future communications or for reference when checking on the status of the claim. Most of the time the other driver's insurance company will contact you before you can contact them. This assumes that the other driver has reported the incident to his insurance company, which is not always the case. If they contact you, make sure you tell them that you want to know the claim number they have set up to process your claim against their driver. It is also important to report the accident to your own insurance company even if you are not at fault in the accident. You may have certain coverages that will immediately pay for your property damage and medical expenses without having to wait and see if the other insurance company will accept or deny your claim. If your own insurance company pays you, they will then seek to recover their money from the other insurance company. This is called subrogation. Be careful when discussing the accident with an adjuster for the other driver's insurance company. Avoid giving statements or recorded testimony about how the accident occurred. Those details are usually contained on the accident report that can easily be obtained by the adjuster. If the accident report is accurate, simply refer the adjuster to it. Adjusters frequently try to elicit a statement from the opposing party in an attempt to minimize your damages or deny your claim. Give only the information that is absolutely necessary and contact an attorney if you have any doubts or questions about what information to provide. There are many factors that will determine whether your personal injury case will settle, or whether you will have to proceed to trial. Probably the most significant of these factors is the type of personal injury case involved. Generally, the more sophisticated issues and cases do not resolve early in the process of litigation. Most automobile accident cases do settle without the need for a trial. Medical malpractice cases, products liability cases and premises liability cases usually do not settle early on in the process and may very well require a trial to determine the outcome. In medical malpractice cases in particular, if a doctor settles a case, he gets reported to a national databank. Each time he renews his insurance or if he seeks credentialing with a hospital, a report from the databank is received. Thus, the databank report follows him throughout his career. This makes it less likely that he will want to ever settle a case. Some insurance agreements have what is called a \"consent to settle clause.\" This clause allows the person who is insured to determine whether or not the case will settle. If such a clause is in the insurance contract, the insurance company cannot settle the case even if they really want to settle without the consent of the insured. These clauses are especially prevalent in medical malpractice insurance agreements. In cases involving complex factual or legal issues, it may take a long time for depositions, expert reviews and documents to be exchanged and evaluated by the parties. Without an adequate understanding of the issues and the potential testimony at trial, the parties do not have enough information to evaluate their chance of success and thus, their willingness to settle. Although cases involving complex factual and legal issues may settle on the \"courthouse steps,\" it could take years to get to that point. Sometimes, a legal issue may have to be decided by the court to help the parties determine whether certain evidence can be presented at trial. There may also be certain laws that limit certain types of claims, even if those claims appear to be a clear winner for one side. Until a court decides these legal issues, the parties cannot evaluate their exposure in the case. Even if the parties agree about who was at fault in a case, the case may not settle due to a dispute over the amount of damages sustained by the plaintiff. Cases often proceed to trial on the sole issue of damages. Thus, most lawyers will work the case as if it will proceed to trial and hope that their work will enlighten the other side about the need to settle the case. If the case does not settle, that lawyer is then ultimately prepared to try a good case with the best potential for a favorable outcome. Statistically speaking, most cases settle before trial. However, it could take years to develop enough facts and legal issues to convince the parties of the need to settle the case. Thus, it would not be a good idea to count on a quick settlement in any case. There are several elements of damages that courts allow plaintiffs to recover when they are the victim of a personal injury. Pain and suffering and mental anguish are in a category called general or noneconomic damages. Lost wages, and medical expenses are called special or economic damages. The value of general damages in most personal injury cases are determined by a combination of the lawyer's past experience with the same type of cases and by reviewing the jury verdicts on similar types of injuries. Virtually every conceivable type of personal injury has been previously decided by juries and courts prior to the time you filed your case. Thus, a range between high awards and low awards exists that establish the value of the case. Ultimately, if a jury or judge awards an amount that is significantly higher or lower than the prior cases awarded, the court of appeals can increase or decrease the award. The courts also establish rules for recovery of special damages like lost wages. Many states allow the plaintiff to recover the gross amount of the wages they would have received before taxes would be taken out. However, future lost wage awards are usually required to be reduced to the present value. Otherwise, an award of future wages could be invested to make more than a person would make in the future. Courts may also allow the plaintiff to recover medical expenses from the person who injures them even if the plaintiff's own medical insurance paid for those medical expenses and the plaintiff did not have \"out-of-pocket\" expenses. In those instances, the plaintiff's medical insurer may have a lien or right of recovery against the proceeds the plaintiff receives from the party that injures him. Once the range for the gross value is determined, other factors should then be considered to determine the value at which the case can settle, if the parties are willing to settle." }, { "question": "For instance, what are the chances of proving liability?", "answer": "If the chances of recovery are only 50 percent, then the range of value should be reduced by a number close to 50 percent for purposes of considering a settlement. The fault of the plaintiff or the fault of a third party should also be considered in evaluating the case. Most jurisdictions require that the recovery of the plaintiff be reduced by the fault of the plaintiff or the fault of third parties. Thus, for purposes of evaluating the case for settlement, this \"other\" fault must be considered. If the case proceeds to trial and the plaintiff prevails, legal interest is also usually awarded to the plaintiff. This can be a significant amount if the case is a few years old. Legal interest is not awarded if the case is settled. In some states and under certain circumstances, attorney's fees and court costs can also be awarded to the plaintiff who prevails at trial. These sums should be made part of any valuation made by your attorney. All of these factors should be discussed with your attorney to make an intelligent and reliable decision regarding the prospect of settlement or trial. Most cases settle out of court before proceeding to trial. However, not all cases settle for what they should. Sometimes, the plaintiff ends up settling the case for a lot less than the case is worth. Other times, the defense pays a premium to resolve the case." }, { "question": "How are you supposed to know if the settlement offer being made is fair?", "answer": "Some say that the measure of a good settlement is when both parties walk away from the settlement unhappy. This means that the defendant paid more than he wanted to pay, and the plaintiff accepted less than he wanted to accept. Several factors can provide guidance on whether the settlement should be accepted. In general, if you can get close to judgment value of the case in settlement, then it should be considered a very good settlement. One of the first considerations that attorneys and clients should factor in is the chance of prevailing on the issue of liability. If the other side is clearly at fault, then a settlement offer should not be decreased because of the risk of losing the case. If the plaintiff has only a 60 percent chance of prevailing on liability, he may want to consider taking 40 percent less in settlement. However, some cases do not involve clear-cut issues of fault. Often, the fault involved in a personal injury action may be spread around. In other words, more than one party or person may be responsible for the plaintiff's injuries. In cases involving the fault of more than one party, any settlement offer must account for that fault. This is difficult if one of the parties at fault is not solvent or otherwise cannot make a contribution toward settlement. Fault of the plaintiff must also be factored into any settlement offer if the plaintiff is partly responsible for his own injuries. Thus, if the fault of others, including the plaintiff, is reasonably evaluated to approximate 20 percent, then the settling defendant should offer close to 80 percent of the plaintiff's damages in settlement. Another important factor to consider in assessing the fairness of a settlement offer is the venue (the court jurisdiction) in which the action is pending. Some jurisdictions draw from jury pools that are more conservative or liberal than others. If the court in which the case is pending draws from a more liberal jury pool, then the settlement offer should take that factor into account by being on the higher end of the range of possible judgments to account for the fact that liberal juries award more money to injured persons. Most settlement offers will not take into account judicial interest. Judicial interest is awarded to the plaintiff who wins at trial. In an old case, the interest on the judgment can be substantial. However, most defendants will not pay interest in the settlement. Unfortunately, the financial need of the plaintiff can result in a diminished recovery. Defendants know that in some cases, they can simply \"wait it out,\" and the plaintiff will take a lot less now because he cannot afford to wait the period of years before the case proceeds to trial. If the defendant knows that both the attorney and client are willing to wait as long as it takes to recover the maximum amount of money, then they are more willing to present a higher settlement offer. In serious injury cases, you should consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement offer made by the other side. On January 1, 2000, Congress established the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), within the U.S. Department of Transportation. This organization was formerly the Federal Highway Administration Office of Motor Carriers. Its primary mission is to \"reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses.\" As part of this mission, FMCSA develops and enforces regulations designed to strike a balance between safety and industry efficiency. Some of the key programs of the FMCSA include developing and maintaining the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. These regulations establish safe operating requirements for commercial truck drivers, their vehicles and their equipment. The FMCSA also enforces rules and regulations on transportation of hazardous materials over our interstate highways. These rules govern operational requirements, classification of hazardous materials and proper packaging of such materials. One of the main regulations developed by FMCSA is the Hours of Service (HOS) regulations. These regulations place specific limits on the number of hours that a truck driver can drive his truck without a break. Prior to the formation of FMCSA, the HOS rules had not been changed in more than 60 years. FMCSA also oversees compliance with the commercial driver's license standards for drivers, carriers and States. These regulations require that drivers pass written and driving tests. FMCSA also provides educational programs for safety, including messages aimed at passenger car drivers and pedestrians. FMCSA's research and technology work is designed to develop new and safer methods of truck and bus safety. FMCSA also works with States to develop and implement local safety rules. One such program, Performance and Registration Information Systems Management (PRISM), links federal motor carrier safety records with the State's vehicle registration system. Safety performance is continuously monitored. Carriers that are prohibited from operating in interstate commerce may be denied the ability to register their vehicles. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has established specific rules and standards that truck drivers and their companies must follow to operate a commercial motor vehicle. Effective April 1, 1992, no person is permitted to operate a commercial motor vehicle unless that person has taken and passed written and driving tests that meet federal standards. Following successful completion of these tests the driver is issued a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). In addition to knowledge requirements for the written test, drivers must also demonstrate that they possess safe driving skills for their vehicle group. This should include proper visual search methods, appropriate use of signals, speed control for weather and traffic conditions, and ability to position the motor vehicle correctly when changing lanes. Because most commercial vehicles are equipped with air brakes, the federal regulations require that drivers demonstrate that they possess the skills to conduct pretrip inspection procedures to locate and verbally identify air brake operating controls and monitoring devices, determine the motor vehicle's brake system condition for proper adjustments, and ability to determine that air system connections between motor vehicle and trailer have been properly made and secured. The skills driving test must be conducted in on-street conditions or under a combination of on-street and off-street conditions. It should include the ability to start, stop, and move the vehicle forward and backward in a safe manner. Drivers are also tested for their knowledge on night driving factors, extreme driving conditions, emergency maneuvers, skid control and recovery, and vehicle inspections. A driver applicant must correctly answer at least 80 percent of the questions on each knowledge test in order to achieve a passing score. To achieve a passing score on the skills test, the driver must demonstrate that he can perform all of the skills required by the regulations. If the driver does not obey traffic laws or causes and accident during the test, he automatically fails the test." }, { "question": "Do Laws Regulate The Amount Of Time A Trucker Spends On The Road?", "answer": "In 1939, the Federal Government passed regulations to limit the hours of service (HOS), that truck drivers could operate their commercial motor vehicles. Although much has happened with U.S. highways since, 1939, those HOS regulations remained the same. In 1995 Congress directed the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to study the effect of fatigue of commercial motor vehicle crashes and to reform those HOS regulations. In response, FMCSA conducted scientific research, reviewed tens of thousands of comments to the rule making process and employed experts to review the issues. In April 2003, FMCSA made the first meaningful revision to the HOS regulations in more than 60 years. The new regulations go into effect on January 4, 2004. These new rules have attempted to balance the increased opportunity for drivers to obtain necessary rest with the realities of operation by commercial motor vehicle carriers. The new rules allow drivers to drive 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours of off-duty. Also, drivers may not drive after being on duty for 60 hours in a seven consecutive day period or 70 hours in an eight consecutive day period. Drivers may not drive beyond the 14th hour after coming on-duty following 10 hours off duty. Short haul drivers are allowed to be on-duty for a period of 16 hours once during any seven consecutive day period. The old rule allowed 10 hours of driving after an eight-hour period of off-duty time. Drivers were also not allowed to drive after their 15th hour on duty in a workday or after 60 hours on duty time in seven consecutive days or 70 hours in on duty eight consecutive days. Although the new rules purportedly appease truck drivers who argue that better equipment and roads should translate into more driving time, in reality the difference is a net loss of HOS per 24 hours. The new rules allow a driver to drive 14 of 24 hours. The old rules allowed 15 of 24 hours of driving time. The HOS rules govern drivers who transport freight through interstate commerce whose vehicle has a gross weight rating of 10,001 pounds. Drivers of buses involved in interstate transportation will continue to use the old HOS regulations." }, { "question": "Does The Federal Government Place Weight And Size Restrictions On Trucks?", "answer": "In the 1950s, the authorization of the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways created a federal interest in building and preserving a national system of interstate highways. Today, interstate highways comprise an approximate 40,000 mile system of limited access, divided highways that span the country. As part of the goal of preservation and maintenance of this highway system, the Federal Government has enacted commercial vehicle standards that regulate the size and weight of commercial motor vehicles that travel on the interstate highways. In addition to the foregoing, in 1975 a formula was introduced to reduce the risk of damage to highway bridges by requiring more axles or a longer wheel base to compensate for increased vehicle weight. The size of commercial motor vehicles is also limited in some instances. Although there is no federal length limit imposed on most truck tractor-semitrailers, there are exceptions for tractor trailers designed and used specifically to carry automobiles and boats in specifically designed racks. These vehicles may not exceed a maximum overall vehicle length of 65 feet or 75 feet depending on the type of connection between the tractor and trailer. Federal law also provides that no state may impose a length limitation of less than 48 feet (unless governed by a grandfather clause) on a semitrailer operating in any truck tractor-semitrailer combination on the national network of highways. Similarly, federal law prohibits states from imposing a length limitation of less than 28 feet on a semitrailer or trailer operating in a truck tractor (twin trailer) combination. With respect to width, no state can impose a limitation of more or less than 102 inches. Safety devices like mirrors may not be included in this calculation. Federal law does not impose a height limit. State standards range from 13.6 feet to 14.6 feet. There are federal and state laws that require commercial motor vehicles to carry insurance for various types of losses. These laws also require that certain types of insurance must be purchased at minimum limits. These laws are designed to protect motorists and others with an insurable interest in the event that a large truck is involved in an accident that causes property damage and/or personal injuries. Answer: The dangerous areas around a truck are the \"NO ZONE.\" Crashes can be avoided by staying away from the \"NO ZONE.\" In 1991, Congress directed the Federal Highway Administration (now under the direction of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration), to educate motorists how to safely share the road with big trucks. The goal was to increase awareness of the danger areas around commercial vehicles. These danger areas were called \"no zones\" and represent blind spots in which cars disappear from the view of the truck driver. Research suggests that crashes between trucks and cars are much more likely to occur in these \"no zones.\" These danger areas consist of the side no zone, the rear no zone, and the front no zone. In a study using 1996 data, it was estimated that 32,500 crashes or 13 percent of all two vehicle crashes between passenger vehicles and large trucks occurred in the front no zone. Side no-zone crashes approximated 21,500 of nonintersection encroachments and 10,500 intersection encroachments for a total of 12 percent of the two vehicle crashes between trucks and cars. The rear no zone accounted for 25,000 crashes or 10 percent of these same crashes. The conclusions reached by the study indicate that of a total 258,000 crashes between a large truck and a passenger vehicle in 1996 a total of approximately 89,500 crashes, or 35 percent occurred within the no zones. This translates into an estimated 30,500 personal injuries caused by no-zone crashes. The major push in crash avoidance in the no zone has centered around educating motorists about no zones. This includes identifying where the no zones are located and information on how to stay out of these zones as much as possible. Moreover, if a motorist is in a truck's no zone, he should be more defensive and aware of the fact that the truck driver likely cannot and does not see him. Many trucks have decals on the back of the rig that tell motorists about the identity of the no zones. They also caution drivers who pass rigs on the right to be aware that the truck makes wide right turns. This can avoid a side no-zone collision on the right side with a passing motorist. Research suggests that motorists would be less inclined to drive dangerously in the vicinity of large trucks if they were better informed about the trucks' limitations and capabilities. Following too close to the large truck in his rear no zone has also been a topic of the no-zone campaign. Again, most motorists do not realize that debris can fall from a truck or be kicked up by its tires presenting a dangerous situation. Driving that close also restricts visibility and limits reaction time in an emergency. Understanding and avoiding no zones is the key to limiting these devastating crashes." }, { "question": "What Are The Most Frequent Unsafe Acts Of Motorists?", "answer": "In February 1999, a study conducted for the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration reviewed the unsafe driving acts of motorists in the vicinity of large trucks. This study was developed not only to identify such unsafe driving acts, but also to develop recommendations for training and changes to existing vehicle codes. Unsafe driving acts were determined by interviewing experts, truck drivers and review of collision investigation reports. According to the study, unsafe driving acts were classified under two separate categories: unsafe acts determined by rating of danger or death and unsafe acts determined by frequency of act. * Driving in the \"no zones\"\nAlthough trucks compose approximately 8 percent of all vehicles involved in fatal crashes, truck accidents accounted for 12 percent of the total number of lives lost on the nation's highways. This disparity can be explained by the fact that trucks weigh 20 to 30 times more than passenger vehicles. When that large of a mass hits a vehicle with speed, the occupants of the passenger vehicles are at a considerable disadvantage. Many motorists have the misperception that truck drivers are more at fault in accidents since they are involved in more deadly wrecks. These statistics demonstrate that often, it is the passenger vehicles that are ignorant of the performance limitations of large trucks. Answer: Benefits for medical bills, lost wages, disability, death and out-of-pocket expenses. The Colorado Workers' Compensation Act provides a system for compensating employees for injuries and occupational diseases resulting from employment. The employer assumes liability of the injury no matter who is to blame. Thus, even if you get hurt at work and it is your own fault, you still have a workers' compensation claim. However, the tradeoff for this is that the employee is prohibited from suing the employer at common law. If the injury is work-related, medical treatment and related services must be provided to cure and relieve the injured employee from the effects of the injury. There are limits to the treatment and special rules governing who you can go to for treatment, how much they can charge and their qualifications to provide opinions concerning impairments and causation of impairments. Disability payments are payable for time lost from work of more than three days and for permanent impairment. Benefits for temporary disability are calculated by using the employee's wage at the time of injury, including overtime, wage differentials and specified fringe benefits. Payments for temporary disability benefits can be partial, as where the employee is still able to work part time, or total, where the employee is taken off work entirely because of the work injury. The Colorado Workers' Compensation Act provides for payments to the dependents of an employee who dies as a result of occupational injuries. In general, the dependents' benefits are based on the same weekly amount the deceased employee would receive in temporary total disability benefits. The surviving spouse is typically considered to be wholly dependent on the deceased worker and entitled to these benefits. In addition, children under the age of 18 are considered to be dependants as well as children between 18 and 21 that were actually dependent on the decedent and engaged as a full-time student at an accredited university. A mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, sister, brother or grandchild may establish entitlement to dependency benefits if he or she is incapable of work of is disabled from earning his or her own living. In addition, the dependent must be wholly or partially supported by the deceased employee at the time of death. One can recover for the cost of travel to medical appointments arising out of the work injury, cost of hotels, cost of meals, and other out-of-pocket expenses. In death cases, payment for funeral expenses up to $7,000 is also allowed. The Colorado Workers' Compensation Act precludes recovery for pain and suffering and other general or noneconomic damages. An injured employee is only able to recover what is allowed by the Act, and that is typically much less than what is available through a negligence suit at common law. In this country, the court system is generally divided into two types of courts, state courts and federal courts. Each state has the authority to create the different courts under its own system. However, in most states the system is made up of three levels of courts: the district or trial court, the courts of appeal and the supreme court. Most state court judges, at all three levels, are elected by the population for certain terms of service. Some states impose term limits to prevent multi term judges. Most states break down the geographic areas of the state into judicial districts. A district or trial court represents the people who reside in that district. Several districts are then usually grouped together and represented by a court of appeals. There are usually many fewer courts of appeals than there are district courts. The courts of appeal hear cases coming out of the judicial districts to which they are assigned. Although the number of judges who sit on the court of appeal may differ from state to state, the number is usually an odd number to prevent a split decision. There is one state supreme court that hears cases coming out of the courts of appeal, and in some limited instances, directly from the people. If an issue affects a right protected by the United States Constitution, or some other federal law (death sentence cases), it can be appealed from the state supreme court to the United States Supreme Court. However, it is rare that this is the case and most state supreme courts are the final stopping point in the judicial process for most cases. Most states elect 9 state supreme court justices. The federal system also has three levels, the district courts, the court of appeals and the United States Supreme Court. On the federal level, states are broken down into several geographic district courts. The federal courts of appeal hear cases from all the district courts in their area. Currently, there are 11 federal courts of appeals. Many hear cases coming out of district courts from several states. The United States Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., is the highest court in the land. Only the United States Congress has the authority to pass legislation that overrules decisions of the Supreme Court. This is part of the checks and balances of power the founding fathers of this country created to ensure that no one branch of the government (legislative, judicial, or executive), had too much power. The United States Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the President and serve for life. There are nine Justices. The statute of limitations is the time period that the law allows for asserting a claim. If a claim is not brought within the time period allowed by the statute of limitations, it will be barred. This means that even if you have a clear-cut case against someone arising out of a personal injury, the court will dismiss your claim if you do not file it within the time period allowed by the statute of limitations. In Colorado, the statute of limitations is very short for negligence cases. It is two years in ordinary negligence cases (including malpractice cases) and three years if the negligence involved a motor vehicle. Regardless of the time, once a claim is barred by the statute of limitations, there is no chance of resurrecting it. The idea behind imposing a statute of limitations for bringing claims is to prevent stale or old claims from hanging over the head of a business or person indefinitely. Also, as time passes, evidence is harder to gather, witnesses disappear or die and documents get destroyed. Thus, it would make the defense of claims difficult if not impossible if a claim could be brought for a personal injury that occurred 10 years ago. The law recognizes that there are instances where a person could not have brought a claim within the statute of limitations because they were not aware that a claim existed or some other legally recognized circumstance occurred. An example of this might be where a sponge was left inside someone by a physician during surgery and the patient does not discover this fact until more than two years later. Another case is when a minor is injured, the statute of limitations does not usually start to run until the child reaches the age of majority. Accordingly, the law has created certain legal principles that may be used to suspend or interrupt the running of the applicable time limitations. These principles vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. There are some exceptions to this general rule and an attorney should be consulted to advise you on the facts and circumstances of your particular situation. Not knowing the specific time period in which to bring a claim is not an excuse. For these reasons, it is important to determine at the beginning of the review whether there is a potential problem. The person bringing the lawsuit, the plaintiff, has the burden of proving the elements of his lawsuit. In a civil case, the plaintiff must prove his case by a preponderance of the evidence. That means that he must prove a fact and his damages by showing that something is more likely so than not, i.e., 50.1 percent versus 49.9 percent. If the judge or jury believes the plaintiff and defendant equally, the plaintiff has failed to meet his burden of proof and his claim must fail. In other words, the tie goes to the defendant. The defendant does not have to prove anything. The defense is free to simply poke holes in the case of the plaintiff. There are limited circumstances in which the defendant must prove a defense. This usually arises when the defendant has raised what is known as an affirmative defense. Also, if the defendant attempts to blame a third party, he is usually required to prove his case against that third party by a preponderance of the evidence. If the plaintiff has successfully proven that a fact is more likely so than not, it must be accepted as true by the judge or jury. In criminal cases, the prosecution must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. This higher burden of proof is required in criminal cases because of the deprivation of freedom (incarceration) or life (death penalty). In civil cases, the remedy is usually the payment of money. Thus, the burden of proof is less. Each year nearly 3 million Americans are injured in automobile accidents. Another 60,000 Americans are killed in accidents. Not every accident involving death, injury or property damage results in a claim or lawsuit. Not every accident should result in a claim." }, { "question": "How do you know when to make a claim and when not to make one?", "answer": "Frequently, poor treatment by the insurance adjuster will lead a client, who otherwise would not have filed a lawsuit into proceeding in court. Many people simply want to be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket medical and other expenses. It is only after such minimal claims are denied or greatly reduced by the insurance adjuster do clients decide to proceed to hire an attorney. Another factor commonly considered by clients when contemplating whether or not to bring a legal claim is the exposure of their private life and information. When a lawsuit is filed, there are few aspects of your past life that a court will prevent the other side from discovering. Past criminal behavior, other lawsuits, divorces, income tax returns, former jobs and employers are areas that are routinely discovered during a lawsuit. However, medical information that has nothing to do with the injuries arising out the claim is still privileged. Many defense lawyers will intentionally try to shame or embarrass the plaintiff in an attempt to shift a jury's attention away from his client's negligence. Most lawyers know that juries are less likely to award substantial sums of money to people they do not like. This is why many trials seem to be placing the life of the plaintiff on trial. In automobile cases, the choice of whether to institute a claim must always consider on which party the fault has been initially placed by the investigating police officer. Moreover, there are certain legal presumptions that operate to place fault on one driver or the other depending on how the accident occurred. For instance, in a rear end collision, there is generally a presumption that the driver who rear ends another car is at fault in the accident. In all claims, the ability to prove fault is a key factor in deciding how to proceed. Auto cases also should be evaluated by determining the type and availability of insurance coverage. If the available insurance is minimal, the policy limits may very well be tendered by the insurance adjuster without the need to file a claim in court. Finally, the cost of proceeding with the litigation as compared to the potential recovery should be considered. If a case will cost $10,000 to pursue and the available coverage if the claim is successful is $10,000, the case may not be worth pursuing. Unless the damages are substantial and clearly above the available policy limits, most insurance adjusters will not offer their policy limits in settlement. It is only after the case is developed, depositions are taken and money is spent before most contested cases can be resolved. Unlike most other types of personal injury cases, automobile accident cases involving injuries are usually worth pursuing with an attorney. This is not because people are rushing out and filing frivolous claims that get paid. It is more a function of the insurance adjusters constantly attempting to \"low ball\" and mistreat accident victims. Much of the insurance company's money could be saved by adjusters who fairly compensate victims well before attorneys get involved. However, the sad reality is that most adjusters will not treat an injured person fairly and people will have to hire an attorney to be fairly compensated. Nearly 200,000 Americans die each year as a result of medical errors. That is like 2 jumbo jets crashing in mid-air, killing everyone aboard every day of the year. Certainly, one such crash would make the news, but deaths resulting from medical errors go unnoticed. Not every bad outcome means that malpractice was committed, however." }, { "question": "Moreover, if medical negligence is involved is a claim really worth pursuing?", "answer": "Medical malpractice cases are some of the most expensive and difficult cases to pursue in litigation. Statistically speaking, of those cases that do go to trial each year in this country, almost two-thirds of them result in a verdict in favor of the doctor or hospital. That means the malpractice victims only win in one-third of the cases. Because of the difficulty and expense involved in these cases, only the strongest cases are typically pursued. The first factor that must be considered is the nature of the alleged malpractice and the severity and permanency of the injury. If a nurse was rude or forgot to give the patient his medicine at a certain time and gave it later without any consequences then a medical malpractice case should not be seriously considered. Rude physicians or nurses should not form the basis for a suit. Remember, most jurisdictions require the losing party (not the attorney) to pay the costs of the winning party. In a medical malpractice case these costs could easily approach $70,000. Cases that are based on anger, vendettas or that cannot be supported by evidence have no place in the legal system. In deciding whether or not you have a potential medical malpractice claim you should seek the advice of an experienced medical malpractice attorney. Attorneys without experience in personal injury law and malpractice suits may not be qualified to handle a medical practice cases. The degree of injury and amount of damages are very important considerations. Even if malpractice occurred, a party that must undergo additional procedures and expenses may be fortunate enough to fully recover from the malpractice. Unless the medical expenses are very high and the period of suffering longer than a year, the recoverable damages will probably dictate that a case should not be brought. It does not make economic sense for a lawyer or victim to spend $50,000 pursuing a claim worth $50,000. However, when the malpractice has caused a permanent and serious injury, a claim should be seriously considered. One of the factors to consider is whether the medical condition of the victim was such that a bad outcome was going to occur anyway. This may be seen in cases involving terminally ill patients. Failing to diagnose cancer in a patient that had no chance of survival by the time the delay in diagnosis occurred is an example of a case that may not make sense to pursue. For every case we take, we turn down at least twenty other cases that we do not take. This does not mean that you are wrong to consider bringing a case for suspected medical malpractice. It simply underscores the need to have the potential case reviewed by an experienced medical malpractice attorney. According to the U.S. House of Representatives, Committee on Government Reform, there are nearly 17,000 nursing homes in the United States that currently care for 1.6 million residents. That figure is projected to quadruple to 6.6 million by the year 2050. According to the 2000 survey of State Adult Protective Services, a study commissioned by the National Center on Elder Abuse, Adult Protective Services (APS) investigated 396,398 reports of elder abuse in this country. Of that number, APS substantiated 166,019 in the year 2000 alone. Importantly, these studies have focused on abuse in domestic settings and not specifically in nursing homes. However, it is widely agreed and accepted that abuse and neglect is a common and grossly underreported occurrence in nursing homes. In fact, in a 1990 study, confidential interviews were conducted of 577 nurses and aides that revealed that 10 percent of the respondents themselves had engaged in nursing home physical abuse in the past year, and 40 percent had engaged in mental or psychological abuse in the past year. Eighty-one percent of those interviewed had witnessed at least one instance of psychological abuse in the past year. A 1997, Time Magazine article projected that as many as 35,000 Americans suffer death or unnecessary pain in nursing homes each year. These staggering statistics demonstrate that nursing home neglect is a serious problem in this country." }, { "question": "Where can people turn for help?", "answer": "If the suspected abuse is immediate and life threatening, call 911 immediately. If the danger is not immediate, most states have adult protective service organizations that regularly receive such reports. Many people who report or experience elder abuse also want to pursue a civil legal action for monetary damages against the nursing home. However, several considerations should be taken into account before instituting such an action. Documentation and/or verification of the abuse by a state agency will go a long way in helping provide the proof required to prevail in a lawsuit. Testimony from independent witnesses is also important to establish. Jurors will be more likely to believe witnesses who do not stand to gain financially if a verdict is rendered for the victim or his family. However, this type of proof is not easy to obtain since most abusing health care providers do not openly abuse residents in front of witnesses. Another factor to consider is the severity of the injuries." }, { "question": "If the abuse is mental, does the victim require extensive therapy to address the issues raised by the abuse?", "answer": "Finally, the financial stability of the offending nursing home may also be a consideration. Many nursing homes have gone bankrupt and have no insurance to respond to a judgment for damages. In such instances, a civil legal remedy may not be worth pursuing. If you suspect abuse of a friend or relative in a nursing home and you are considering a lawsuit, you should contact an experienced lawyer who handles these types of cases. These cases are too difficult and expensive to allow representation an attorney with little or no experience with these claims. Any time you are injured on the job, you should consider making a workers' compensation claim to cover the medical bills, out-of-pocket expenses and, if you are unable to return to work for more than three days, for indemnity benefits. Whether you should hire a lawyer is another question. On minor injuries that resolve after a few days, a lawyer may not be able to help you obtain more benefits than you can on your own. However, for injuries (especially back injuries) that involve your whole body, you should consult with an experienced workers' compensation attorney. Colorado law provides that the surviving spouse is the only one that may bring a wrongful death claim within the first year following death, unless he or she waives that right in writing. After that, legal heirs may bring the claim. Whether the claim \"should\" be brought depends on the wrongfulness of the death. Death caused by the negligence, recklessness, carelessness or fault of another may be actionable. However, as indicated above, the loss of a family member typically causes great pain and turmoil as well as unimaginable loss within a family. Bringing a claim requires the family to deal with the loss over and over again throughout the litigation. Sometimes this can be painfully difficult and should be considered before bringing any claim. On the other hand, since the loss is so great, there should be justice. While no amount of money can bring back the dead, it can ease the burden of losing the bread winner in a family, can pay for children's education, can pay for burial and funeral expenses, and can pay for counseling to the grieving family. Money is the only kind of justice the law allows. It is strongly advised that you speak with an attorney that is not only experienced in wrongful death law, but understands the feelings of losing a loved one and can explain to you the pros and cons of bringing this type of claim." } ]

[ { "question": "Are you the client for me?", "answer": "I believe in setting EVERYONE up for success, so lets make sure that we are on the same page before we commit to training with one another. Firstly, we need you to admit and recognize that there IS a problem. We aren't saying that you are the problem, but there is something in your relationship with your dog that is contributing to their bad behavior. Whether those behaviors are dangerous, obnoxious or just plain not listening to commands. You are going to have to make changes if you want to see different results. We need you to be 100% on board with our training techniques, the tools we use and a balanced style of training. We praise dogs for good behavior, but also correct them for bad behavior so that there is a clearly defined black and white set of rules for them to understand. When we first start training, you may need to contain yourself in regards to praising your dog. It will be a counter productive experience if you over praise your dog during training. We aren't saying to NEVER praise your dog. There will be time to praise your dog, we just need to teach you when its beneficial. Think of life rewards rather than material rewards; INCLUSION in your life during everyday events and outings is a much larger reward than any treat. We expect you to be practicing, challenging yourself and your dog and contacting us as soon as you reach any issues in training rather than putting it off and wasting valuable time. In our training programs we focus on a structured lifestyle with your dog. We need to know that you will follow through with our household management systems. This one can be tough for some people as it requires a lot of boundaries where there was freedom in the past. This will help guarantee success in your journey towards a happy, healthy, balanced life and home. EXERCISE! - Every dog needs daily exercise to become well adjusted, drain energy and learn to relax on command. We ask our clients to commit to a daily exercise routine. This will go beyond letting your dog out into a fenced in area or yard to run around. Your dog will need structured walks, structured play time and possibly treadmill work as well. Exercise is key to achieving a healthy body and mind in your training and life with your dog. We need EVERY ONE to be positively involved with the training! We want you to be comfortable and confident with our tools, techniques, philosophies, household management, exercise, etc. Dogs are greatly influenced by the people around them that the inclusion, involvement and commitment of the whole family can MAKE or BREAK your training efforts. I hold my expectations of dog training to a higher standard. I do not want a dog to respond to commands only because of a treat and never reliably around distractions. I want a dog that can be included in my life and follow commands without a handful of treats all the time. To join me in the real world, reliably, because it is part of our lifestyle, not just a trick. We have successfully exceeded many of our clients expectations time and time again because our training style is unlike any other you will find on the market today. We make it easy for you and your dog to be successful in achieving the things you never thought were possible. We help train and fix the problem dogs that other trainers will tell you are beyond help, can't be fixed or should be put to sleep because they can not be trained. We will utilize a dogs meals in training during certain periods of their initial learning stages or for special cases. Dogs earning their meals through training vs a high value treat reward creates a stronger bond, focus and work ethic. We train dogs on the foundation of a strong relationship. I have found that many dogs become hyper active and unfocused when we involve stimulus such as toys or treats in training if not done properly. They are less able to calmly learn new things and make good decisions. They also learn to \"work the system\" and can quickly become savvy to when you have treats and do not have treats. This causes them to choose to engage with you or ignore you. Another issue I have experienced with treat training is when something in the real world becomes more valuable than the treat. This is why we also use corrections / pressure to create a balance of positive and negative associations with proper and improper behavior. Although treat training can be very beneficial for certain things I feel it has its limitations. There will be times when chasing something across the street is more valuable than the reward you have to offer and your dog's life may be in danger. I am experienced with and know how to train dogs with food, toys and clickers. I have trained some of my own personal dogs with these methods for fun tricks and for competition agility. I save this type of training as EXTRA icing on the cake to teach dogs new and fun things AFTER they are calm, more obedient and understand the basics. It is difficult for the average family household to teach their dog to be well behaved at home AND in public with so many different distractions using treats alone. It is better for your relationship with your dog if you are not constantly bribing them with food. This will strengthen the working bond so that the dog reliably looks to you for guidance and leadership and you can trust one another. I want the dogs that I work with to learn to calmly exist within their family's home. As well as in any environment I bring them into and follow commands accordingly. We gladly work with reactive, human aggressive and dog aggressive dogs. We know that not everyone in our area does and we have the skills and expertise to handle them in all of our programs." }, { "question": "When should I start training my puppy?", "answer": "Training your puppy should start as soon as he or she is weaned. Prior to this the puppy is learning about life from its mother and the rest of the litter." }, { "question": "What can I start teaching my puppy?", "answer": "Things that can begin right away: Housebreaking, learning to walk nicely on a leash, no jumping/biting, how to socialize with other dogs and humans, etc. I can't seem to teach my dog anything!" }, { "question": "When should I contact a dog trainer?", "answer": "It is time to hire a trainer when you sense that your dog has mild/moderate issues, and the methods you have been using are not working. It is best not to wait until things get REALLY bad. It is easier on the dog (and you!) to get the problem solved before it gets out of hand. Very often small problems can escalate into big ones, very quickly." }, { "question": "What are some warning signs of bad dog behavior?", "answer": "Examples of things that should be handled right away: Your dog lunges at other dogs/people when out. Your dog jumps on everyone, and is always very excitable. Your dog has no manners. You have more than one dog in the home and they are growling or fighting with each other. Your dog growls at you when you go near him if he has a toy or something of value." } ]

[ { "question": "How is data quality assured?", "answer": "The entire Project is about the enhancement of data quality in environmental accounting. Specific data for a specific product is much better than the currently used average figures from LCA data bases. Within the myEcoCost software, a measure of data quality is foreseen, that will include a range of parameters, that will be visible to the supply chain users and the final consumer. It is also proposed that data is audited externally for data quality and integrity. In the Demonstration only a few products are featured." }, { "question": "Services too?", "answer": "Yes.

There may be exceptions to this rule but the intention is to make myEcoCost as user-friendly as possible for businesses." }, { "question": "Is myEcoCost aware of the changes in retailing, including online shopping, bespoke products and home delivery?", "answer": "We are aware of all these changes in future retailing and manufacturing. The system is very capable of handling a whole range of future scenarios because it is systems based." }, { "question": "What are overheads and how are they calculated?", "answer": "Overheads are processes applicable to more than one product. For example, the electricity used in a factory, or a tractor used on a farm, which cannot realistically be attributed to a single product. We have included these to a certain extent in the Demonstration, due to the limitations of data collection for the Demonstration model. But theoretically all overheads can be included for any process, and attributed accordingly to any product. Overheads are accrued in an overhead account, which is collected over a given time period. This can then be attributed to any product going through the process." }, { "question": "What level of detail is used in producing EcoCosts?", "answer": "The aim of myEcoCost is to include all inputs from primary sources from nature. Furthermore all inputs to products along supply chains are included when calculating the final myEcoCost score." }, { "question": "Have the calculation factors / methodology been externally peer reviewed?", "answer": "The entire accounting framework is based on the internationally accepted LCA Framework based on ISO Standards and International standards for Material Flow accounting. The methodology and calculation factors of the two indicators Material Footprint and Carbon Footprint were published in peer reviewed journals. We also have a programme to validate the system through stakeholder consultation, which take place before the end of the Project." }, { "question": "How will the system be implemented when supply chains are global and all companies in the supply chain will need to be on-board to make this work?", "answer": "This will be addressed as part of our Commercialisation Strategy, which be produced before the end of the Project. Project Partner GS1 are are experts in this field." }, { "question": "What happens if a company in the supply chain does not want to take part in myEcoCost?", "answer": "As an interim, generic data from recognised eco accounting databases will be used to plug gaps. Over time it is intended that more and more businesses in the supply chain will become EcoCost users." }, { "question": "How is data confidentiality protected?", "answer": "myEcoCost uses known and up-to-date data security standards. Company data is stored on secure business servers. Only the EcoCosts of products sold to customers will leave the secure data system." }, { "question": "What are the current limits to the integration of the myEcoCost system with financial accounting and what is foreseen in a future deployment?", "answer": "financial accounting systems to communicate what products have been dispatched to a customer (details of an invoice). a manufacturing system to instruct the calculation of an ecoCost." }, { "question": "What would be the environmental (carbon) impact of the computing power and hardware (servers etc) required to run myEcoCost - assuming it gains global acceptance?", "answer": "This is something which we are investigating. However we believe that any negative impacts created from running the system will be far outweighed by the benefits created by businesses and consumers producing and buying lower EcoCost products and services." }, { "question": "How secure is the system for consumers and businesses?", "answer": "The personal details of consumers and businesses are protected using encryption technology when their details are transmitted over the Internet. Consumers and businesses will be able to use the myEcoCost system safely if they have Web-based browser, such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, installed on their desktop or mobile devices." }, { "question": "When will myEcoCost be available to consumers and businesses in Europe?", "answer": "The current implementation of myEcoCost is a proof of concept for the transmission mechanisms of ecoCosts, the management structures of ecoCosts within companies and consumer interfaces." }, { "question": "What are the current limits of the system automation and what is foreseen in a future deployment?", "answer": "The current limit of the system automation is dependent on the ability to handle some hotspots in the current system – one of the main hotspots is the Invoice service. Since the system is built to support load balancing and delegation of functions to dedicated services the current architecture can handle significant loads. For future deployments changes in the overall architecture can be evaluated to support new technologies and approaches more efficient for very large-scale implementations of the systems." }, { "question": "Have you considered what these could be?", "answer": "Potentially, yes.

[ { "question": "Are you missing Amazon settlements from A2X?", "answer": "There are two main reasons why A2X may not be able to import all of your settlement file data from Amazon's API: they are archived or in old file format type. The two below suggestions to resolve are both found on the Reports > Payments screen in Seller Central. For some sellers, Amazon will archive the settlement reports after some specified number of weeks or months. As strange as this sounds, once archived, A2X is unable to import the data via Amazon's API. You first need to manually 'un-archive' the reports in Amazon Seller Central, before A2X can access the data. These are steps for how to check for archived reports and fix the issue. 2. Look for a button labeled 'Request Report' (see example below). 3. If you see this button, then that settlement is archived. The way to un-archive the report is to click the 'Request Report' button. The request process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. Once available, you should see a Download button beside that settlement. This indicates the settlement has been un-archived and is available for download by A2X. Amazon has two formats for the settlement file, and older V1 and a newer V2 format. A2X. You can check which format your Amazon account has, as the older V1 format may not be importing to A2X, if your A2X account is using the new V2 format. Below are steps for checking the format, and requesting Amazon to upgrade your format. 2. Look for a button labelled \"Download flat file V2\" or \"Download flat file\". If your buttons say \"V2\" flat file, then you have the new version, if they do not, you have the older V1 format. See the screenshot below that shows both buttons. 3. If the missing settlements are in the old format, you will need to request Amazon to upgrade those reports (and at the same time they can upgrade your account to use the new format going forward). To learn more about the format, and how to ask Amazon to change, please see the guide that explains V1 and V2 format HERE. Once your settlement reports are available in V2 format, you can go to A2X Settings > History and request your settlement history. A2X will then look back in your previous accounting periods for any settlements that were missed the first time due to the format. Please Note: This reason for missing settlements is less often an issue as A2X can convert V1 settlements now. If you have checked that the format/archive, and you have requested A2X history (in A2X settings > History), and after a few hours the missing settlements have still not been imported, then there could be a problem with A2X importing the settlements. Our support team is available to assist you. 1. Screenshots of the settlement screen in Amazon Seller Central, showing the missing settlement is both in the correct format, and not archived.

Or another option would be a train from Ely to Waterbeach (takes 9 minutes) and the train station is about 300 metres from the race route, and that would be about a 16 mile run back. The first train to Waterbeach and Cambridge is at 9am, allowing supporters to see the start.

There are many ways we can talk about therapy. At it’s most basic level I believe the process of therapy is the development of a relationship with yourself that is based in loving awareness. It involves a deep understanding of your inner experience and knowing how to take care of yourself. Like any relationship, the one you have with yourself has taken time and developed over many years. Therapy takes time as well. At the beginning I recommend coming every week for 4-6 weeks so we can explore what’s going on and you can begin to implement new ways of being with yourself. Beyond that, everyone is different. Continuing to come weekly may be what’s best for you or possibly every other week. Therapy sessions are 50 minutes in length. During the first session we will discuss confidentiality and I will go over my policies with you. We will talk about what is bringing your into therapy and begin to explore what might be most helpful to you." }, { "question": "How do schedule a session?", "answer": "I offer a complimentary 20 minute phone consult so you can tell me about what brings you to therapy and I can share with you how I may be able to help.

[ { "question": "What should everyone know about buying new HVAC?", "answer": "Installing new heating and air equipment is a ‘service’ not a ‘product’. Essentially you are buying an ‘end result’ which is ideal comfort. We take steps to make sure the equipment is put in an environment where it can perform to its full capability." }, { "question": "How does that affect installation?", "answer": "In real estate the three most important things are location, location, location. In HVAC, it's airflow, airflow, airflow. Most houses have undersized ducts and air boxes (plenums) to support proper air movement, which kills efficiency. We upgrade these areas that choke air. However most other companies take time to do this. How important is S.E.E.R." }, { "question": "What are the three most important things I should look for in a new unit ?", "answer": "Variable speed furnace, large media air filter, and duct / plenum upgrades. These are all related to improved air flow. In many cases this will make a 14 seer unit work better than an improperly installed 16 or 18 seer unit!" }, { "question": "Can you replace only the outside part of the A/C unit?", "answer": "No, modern day systems used matched pieces inside and out that must work together. 12 to 17 years as an average." }, { "question": "Should I replace my furnace when I replace my A/C unit?", "answer": "It’s usually a good idea. The furnace plays an integral role as part of the A/C system by using the fan and controls. It can make a big difference in the quality of how the A/C works, and also lower noise levels in the home." }, { "question": "What if it my furnace still works well?", "answer": "Furnaces often continue to ‘work’ at an advanced age but become increasingly dangerous with wear and tear and loose efficiency. It’s wise not to try to stretch their usable life as the metal chambers inside (called heat exchangers) deteriorate substantially." }, { "question": "I have a carbon monoxide (CO) detector, doesn’t that keep me safe?", "answer": "Although it’s a good idea to own them, CO detectors are not as safe and reliable as a new furnace in good working order. Some furnaces have Carbon Monoxide leaks and CO detectors do not activate, putting the homeowners in danger. It depends on many factors but at least 4 times per year unless you have special high capacity media filters – they can go 6 to even 12 months." } ]

[ { "question": "So what could be causing this?", "answer": "Once you’ve ruled out dirty contacts, by far the likeliest explanation for this kind of malfunction is sub-par batteries. In order to maintain stable functions, your batteries need to have a certain ability to put out sustained power while under load. That ability slowly degrades as batteries age and as they are depleted by use. Eventually the batteries decline to the point where the symptoms you describe – starting out bright but then spontaneously dropping down to a lower-brightness condition, or spontaneously turning off – can occur. Also it’s best to try new batteries from a different lot or batch than the ones already in the flashlight. Although the quality control for premium-brand alkaline batteries is, in our experience, generally very good, there is such a thing as a sub-par lot. We sometimes see this kind of malfunction after the flashlight has been dropped. Dropping can dislodge or disrupt a battery connection. To see whether this is the case, try removing the battery carrier from the flashlight, taking out the batteries, and simply reinserting them, putting the carrier back into the flashlight, and trying it to see if it is again working normally. But if you’ve ruled out dirty contacts and sub-par batteries as possible causes, and you have tried the “battery-reinsertion” maneuver, and your flashlight still does not operate stably, then follow the instructions for sending it to our Warranty Department and we will check it out." } ]

[ { "question": "What is the Patent Quality Initiative (PQI)?", "answer": "The Patent Quality Initiative is an education, information and advocacy effort of Askeladden L.L.C., the goal of which is to improve the understanding, use and reliability of patents in financial services and elsewhere. Through the PQI, Askeladden undertakes a number of strategic programs including making pertinent prior art more easily accessible, providing educational research and briefings on the patent system and evolution of technology in financial services, and filing amicus briefs that highlight issues critical to patent quality. Additionally, to help reduce impediments to innovation, Askeladden petitions the United States Patent and Trademark Office to take a second look at patents that it believes are invalid. The Patent Quality Initiative, under Askeladden L.L.C., is the product of thought-leadership provided by The Clearing House Payments Company L.L.C. Since its founding in 1853, The Clearing House has delivered safe and reliable payments systems, facilitated bank-led payments innovation, and provided thought leadership on strategic payments issues. See The Clearing House’s web page at www.theclearinghouse.org." }, { "question": "Who benefits from Askeladden's PQI?", "answer": "Askeladden's PQI also supports better patent quality for all intellectual property stakeholders, including consumers, businesses of all sizes, universities and inventors. A particular goal of Askeladden's PQI is to minimize bad patents in the financial services sector, including those that might interrupt the speed, safety and security of financial transactions. Askeladden's PQI also strives to help journalists, consumers and others understand the intellectual property issues affecting commerce. Enforcing overly-broad, invalid financial services related patents compromises the integrity of the banking system, drives up costs, and threatens consumers’ data and financial security. Poor quality patents affect many other industries in similar ways." } ]

[ { "question": "Are you Worried Hypnosis Isn’t Safe or You Will Lose Control?", "answer": "If you are worried hypnotherapy isn’t safe for you and you will lose control it is possibly because of shows you have been to or acts on TV. It is important to know I do not do stage hypnosis. You will be in control, I cannot (and would not) make you do anything against your moral or ethical judgement. We will be working in partnership to achieve the best outcome for you using hypnosis. Clients come to me for hypnotherapy via different referral methods. With an increasingly pressured NHS Drs may recommend alternative therapy for their patients. However, referrals are also via recommendation or clients seeking a new way to solve their problem. Your therapy is individual, personally tailored to you and your requirements. I do not use a generic hypnotherapy script for you at Locks Heath Hypnotherapy. The number of sessions required will depend on what we are working on and your commitment to the therapy. During the initial consultation I will be able to give an approximate guide how many sessions may be required. Stop smoking is the initial telephone consultation and one longer session. At the end of each session we will take the time to discuss your progress and the direction you want to take and you will never be asked to commit to sessions you do not need. Sessions are 90minutes. You are not in a state of hypnosis for all of this time as this allows time to review progress from the previous session and for you to re-orientate before leaving." }, { "question": "What Is The Success Rate of Hypnotherapy?", "answer": "Hypnotherapy has a high success rate but as with any therapy there are no guarantees.

[ { "question": "Will I still need to wear orthotics after surgery?", "answer": "First and foremost, this is for you and your doctor to decide. In many cases your mechanics and the degree of your instability led to the reason you had to have corrective surgery in the first place. A total contact orthotic controls and improves mechanics and instabilities in most every case so it stands to reason that a total contact orthotic can reduce the stresses on your foot during activity after surgery which can many times help improve your overall surgical results and comfort. Talk to your doctor about orthotics and your surgery before you have your surgery to ensure the very best results possible." } ]

[ { "question": "Can I place a new order with the same mold?", "answer": "Short answer: You can order as many units as the mold life allows by paying a small machine set up fee that covers for the labor needed to set up the machine (changing the mold and cleaning up the plastic nozzle/barrel/hopper for a new batch). Long answer: The mold life should have been established during the purchase of the mold. Aluminum molds, usually used for prototype batches, allow for no more than a couple to a few thousand units. The industry standard mold made from P20 steel usually has a very long life of over 100,000 depending on the size, complexity, volume, and other aspects related to the product. Keep in mind that the unit price is subject to slight change according to aspects such as: current petrol prices, machine setup, shipping, and others." }, { "question": "Want hardware knowledge?", "answer": "Sign up to our newsletter and get notified once a month when we post a new article." } ]

[ { "question": "What is the 100-year floodplain?", "answer": "Depending on how much rain there’s been, Austin’s creeks may be bone dry, gently flowing with water or a raging torrent. The floodplain is the area of land that is likely to be under water when the creek rushes over its banks. In a sense, the floodplain is the full extension of the creek. The 100-year floodplain is the land that is predicted to flood during a 100-year storm, which has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year. You may also hear the 100-year floodplain called the 1% annual chance floodplain or base flood. Areas within the 100-year floodplain may flood in much smaller storms as well. The 100-year floodplain is used by FEMA to administer the federal flood insurance program and the City of Austin to regulate development." } ]

[ { "question": "Is limbo like a city?", "answer": "A. Limbo is like a giant flea market. You spend hours wandering the aisles, never finding anything that snaps your sheets. You’re vaguely looking for a belt buckle that says Baltimore Catechism, or an out of print book of magic tricks by Bullwinkle J. Moose. You find yourself in front of a black velvet painting of the Young Elvis firing a gun into a television set in a Las Vegas hotel. You feel an overwhelming need not to be there anymore. But you can and do. And do. And doodle-y do. Q. My grandmother says limbo is a dance invented by Chubby Checker. A. There was a schism in those days. Some believed Limbo was a place but others, like Mr. Checker, believed it was a dance. Some reasoned it could be both—a place for dancing. Others, unable to define, pronounce or spell schism, asked for a new question. Q. So, if you’re good you go to Heaven. If you’re bad you go to Hell. If you were kind of good and kind of bad you end up in Purgatory until O.J.’s lawyer can see you." }, { "question": "So who’s in Limbo?", "answer": "A. According to Chubby, it’s where Jack B. Nimble and Jack B. Quick hang." }, { "question": "BTW: they’re the only two dudes who know how to “jump under limbo stick.” That’s important, because getting out of Limbo all depends on your answer to the question “How low can you go?” And speaking of low, did I mention?", "answer": "It’s also, where O.J’s* lawyer lives. ***For those too young to know what Google is, that’s really young.

In terms of shopping for ALL ingredients there are 3 reasons. Firstly, the planning and bringing in of the ingredients is part of students self-control with learning. Secondly, at KS4 they all cook different dishes most of the time, which would make it difficult to plan for. Thirdly, the time needed to shop for 400 students every fortnight at KS3 and 120 per week at KS4. Q - Regarding the set of exams being set for the Y10 students, for science." }, { "question": "Parents and students thought that the exams at the end of Y9 would determine whether students should sit the combined science or separate sciences, is this not the case?", "answer": "A.

This year is no different, we are just giving students who may have underperformed in the end of Y10 exam a further opportunity to demonstrate that they are capable of the demands of separate sciences.

We have a responsibility to ensure that all students are taking the qualifications that they have the best chance of success in and that decision will be made using all available data - particularly the results from these tests and speaking to the teachers involved.

Many CF Affiliate gyms are more expensive than your typical \"globo-gym\". There have been many discussions on this, so please use my advice on searching the forums (see below). It does boil down to the quality of the training, and the fact that you are more 1-on-1 with the trainer than you would be at a globo-gym with a basic membership. - If you don't have a gym membership, and/or don't have a lot of equipment at home, visit this thread to learn how to do CrossFit with limited or no equipment.http://board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=38312 (WFS)." }, { "question": "- \"How many rest days do I take?", "answer": "I'm worried that I might be over-training.\" - For beginners, it's highly recommended to do 1day on 1day off to start with. Work your way up to 2/1 then 3/1. Common workout schedules for those that have been CF'ing for awhile include 3/1, 3/1/2/1, and 5/2. The most simple answer: Listen to your body. You're not going to lose out on strength by taking a rest day. Quoting one of my favorite characters on here Jamie Skibicki... \"You don't get fitter from training, you get fitter from recovering from training.\" A general rule is to do a half-intensity week every 4-6 weeks to give your body some rest, and also do a complete week off from CF every 3 months or so. - \"What's this 'Starting Strength' I keep hearing about?\". Starting Strength (SS for short) is a book/program by Mark Rippetoe. It is designed to take a beginner and improve his/her raw strength and to have strength gains that continue on a linear path (imagine a chart) upward. It is often recommended to people on these forums for people who can't lift enough in the Deadlift, Back Squat, Shoulder Press, etc (though it is often debated what \"enough\" is as a benchmark). It's a great beginner program and only requires learning 5 lifts: Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift, Power Clean, and Shoulder Press. - \"These workouts seem so short, should I be adding cardio or something?\". Depending on your goals, probably not. Especially as a beginner, recovery is important, and these workouts will tax your system PLENTY. Also, while many of the workouts seem relatively short, tell me if you need \"cardio\" after you run through a workout as fast as possible. If you're looking to improve your 5k or even 10k times, the WOD will provide enough work to improve those runs. - \"I play a sport, how can I do CrossFit?\". Work it into your schedule, but be sure to have enough recovery days. Recovery is just as important as the actual work. - If you don't have access to a coach or trainer, take full advantage of the Digital Coaching Forum http://www.board.crossfit.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6 (WFS). Post a video of your lifts, take criticism, work on your form, repeat. - Rhabdomyolysis (or Rhabdo for short) is the excessive breakdown of muscle tissue that the body cannot keep up with, and can result in kidney failure and even death. A few exercises that CrossFit prescribes, done in excess (100+ reps, etc), can and has caused this condition. Read up on this subject (particularly this thread http://www.board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=38220 WFS), and be careful when doing high repetitions of Jumping Pull-ups, Thrusters, GHD sit-ups, and Kettlebell swings. Finally, one of the more important skills to learn around here is how to search the forum. If you have a question about something, please use the search function (and the advanced search) on the site to look for posts similar to your question. Also, you can use Google to search the boards by typing the site into the search field Example: \"Best Bacon Recipes site:http://www.board.crossfit.com/\". Another often overlooked feature of the site is the \"similar posts\" section. If you find a post about Bacon recipes, and you don't quite find what you're looking for. If you scroll to the very bottom of the post, there will be \"Similar Threads\". These can be very helpful when searching for something. This is a re-written version of what I posted last week. Time to try and get this stickied. I will be contacting the mods. Great job Bo. +1 for sticky status! Awesome, Bo! Thanks for doing this. And, the best part, IMHO, is that you use \"best bacon recipes\" as the search function example! I'll have Jamie pick ya up for next years Meatfest 2010.

[ { "question": "Does Crowdability charge a fee to start-ups?", "answer": "For the first time since 1933, every U.S. citizen can now invest in private equity transactions including start-ups. That’s 100 million investors who control $30 trillion in investable assets. Individuals will be lured by the high potential returns – but with little experience in the private markets, they're putting themselves at risk of losing money. Crowdability aims to protect these individual investors by providing them with education, software, and independent research. Essentially, what Morningstar has done for mutual funds, we aim to do for private equity. Crowdabilty was founded by Matt Milner and Wayne Mulligan. It's based in NYC. As entrepreneurs over the past two decades, Matt and Wayne saw first-hand the challenges of finding financial support to grow a new business. Many start-up founders are forced to ask their “friends and families” for money, or they're forced to make the rounds pitching angel investors or professional venture capitalists. This is a time-consuming and often painful process. At the same time, we saw that everyday citizens were passionate about high-growth products and investment opportunities, but didn’t know how to get involved; for the past 80 years, only wealthy \"accredited\" investors have had the legal right to invest in private transactions like start-ups. But now, thanks to the JOBS Act, all U.S. citizens have the right to invest in the private companies they believe in -- and to reap the rewards if these companies become the next Twitter or Google. For individual investors, Crowdability makes the process of investing in private equity investing less risky, more efficient, and, hopefully, more profitable. “Crowdfunding” is an emerging online trend where many individuals collectively fund projects. In exchange for their financial investment, these citizens receive an ownership stake in the company. In this way, if the start-up becomes successful -- if it goes on to become \"the next Facebook\" or \"the next Microsoft\" -- investors will share in the financial upside. Crowdability does not offer equity crowdfunding. It is not a funding portal or broker-dealer. Crowdability is a financial media company. It educates individual investors about this emerging market, curates the highest-quality investment opportunities from around the web, and offers independent analysis and research." }, { "question": "What are the benefits of using Crowdability?", "answer": "As equity crowdfunding continues to gain momentum, new online platforms that connect start-ups with potential investors are emerging every day. Hundreds of these platforms have already launched -- and many more are coming -- but each of them showcases only a handful of investment opportunities. That makes it difficult and time-consuming to identify and invest in the best companies. Crowdability curates investment opportunities from the highest-quality platforms across the web, places them in one central location, and provides context and insights into each one. In addition, we offer education and various services to help individual investors make better-informed investment decisions." }, { "question": "Where do Crowdability's users come from?", "answer": "Crowdability’s management team has previously built subscription content businesses that catered to hundreds of thousands of individual investors. Now we're leveraging our past relationships and experience to attract new subscribers to Crowdability. We do this via editorial partnerships, content syndication, and paid media.

As an independent financial publisher, we maintain no relationship with the issuers or platforms. We simply aggregate data from the universe of funding platforms and deliver this data to our subscribers so it's succinct and convenient. Crowdability currently offers several premium paid services, including its in-depth online education course, The Early-Stage Playbook, and its private \"stock-screener,\" CrowdabilityIQ." }, { "question": "How does Crowdability choose the funding platforms from which it selects investment opportunities?", "answer": "Crowdability aggregates deals only from the platforms that comply with the SEC’s rules -- for example, the platforms that do background checks on a start-up's founders, and validate the start-up's financial and legal standing. We especially appreciate the funding platforms that align their interests with the interests of individual investors -- for example, by directly tying their compensation to a start-up's success. Start-up companies are brought to the attention of Crowdability through funding portals such as SeedInvest and AngelList. Some of these portals have Investment Committees that conduct due diligence and determine the viability of the start-ups. They typically select private early-stage technology, tech-enabled, or consumer-based start-ups that are incorporated in the U.S.; have teams of at least 2 or 3 people who've passed background checks; are targeting big markets; and are displaying signs of traction or growth. Not every company that applies to be on a funding platforms is accepted; generally speaking, only about 1% to 5% are accepted. Notwithstanding this process, neither Crowdability nor the platforms recommend specific investment opportunities as being suitable for any specific member. There are many risks to start-up investing which you should carefully evaluate with your financial advisors. Ultimately, you are responsible for conducting due diligence independently, and you should only make investments that are in your comfort zone. Yes, investing in startups is risky. Many start-ups go out of business every year due to changing market conditions, unforeseen challenges, and other problems. By providing valuable data, education and insight to our subscribers, we hope to help you reduce this risk. But make no mistake, early-stage investing is inherently risky. Crowdability doesn’t maintain a relationship with the issuers or funding platforms. To find out specific details on each opportunity, you'll need to log into the funding platform that's hosting the investment. That being said, according to the rules of the JOBS Act, the SEC places limits on how much investors may invest into each deal (as a percentage of their net worth or annual income), and/or how much they may invest in total into start-ups annually. If you have less than $100,000 of annual income or net worth, you may invest $2,000, or 5% of your annual income or net worth, whichever is more. If you have more than $100,000 of annual income or net worth, you may invest 10% of your annual income or net worth, whichever is less. Regardless of your income or net worth, during any 12-month period, the total amount of Title III securities you can invest in can’t exceed $100,000. In each Title IV deal you’re interested in, you can invest up to 10% of your net worth or 10% of your net income (whichever is greater). If you are accepted by one of the platforms that Crowdability features, it’s likely that your start-up will also be featured here." }, { "question": "What does “Current” and “Previous Investors” mean?", "answer": "\"Current Investors\" are investors that are investing on the same terms as you’ll receive in this round. \"Previous Investors\" have invested in a different funding round, on different terms to those currently offered." }, { "question": "Why do I have to register on the funding portals to see details of the deals?", "answer": "In order to view details of -- and invest in -- any of the companies listed on Crowdability, each user must provide information about themselves. This includes whether or not they're an \"accredited investor,\" and if so, which of the accredited investor requirements he/she meets. According to the SEC, the definition of an Accredited Investor is someone with a net worth of at least $1 million, or annual income of at least $200,000 ($300,000 if combined with their spouse). To ensure that a start-up raising capital is following the law, the funding portals from which we curate deals need to certify that you’re an accredited investor; that’s why you need to register on their platforms. The JOBS Act makes it possible for start-ups to publicly announce that they’re raising money and allows them to raise money from unaccredited investors. The JOBS Act is a U.S. federal law that enables all Americans citizens to invest in crowdfunded securities. It was signed into law on April 5, 2012 by President Obama, and its various components have been going into effect ever since. In particular, “Title III” and \"Title IV\" of the JOBS Act allow non-accredited investors to invest in high-growth start-ups. Non-accredited investors currently make up 98% of America, so this is an historic piece of legislation. For everyday citizens, this is an opportunity to invest in businesses they believe in with as little as $100. We follow all securities regulations." }, { "question": "How old do I need to be in order to use Crowdability?", "answer": "Crowdability is not intended for use by children.

You can get a hold of me via my contact page and we can hammer out some details of what your needing or looking for. I am willing to give it a try to see how well it works. If you are interested please let me know via my contact page and we can figure something out for you." }, { "question": "How long is the turn around on an order?", "answer": "Now as a fore warning I do work full at another job so, I would reasonably like to say 2 – 4 weeks including shipping times. This allows me to make sure that the printing is as good as I can get it and to make sure I have the materials on hand." }, { "question": "How much does an order generally cost?", "answer": "It honestly depends upon the size of the print, matting, and frame. For a rough shot in the dark a 14 by 11 inch print with appropriate matting and the frame itself would be $150. If you are looking for a custom size or something specific please send me a message. Weirdly the United States Postal Service does a remarkable job in terms of cost for shipping and would recommend them. However if you prefer a different service such as UPS or Fed-Ex, I would be happy to accommodate you as best as I can. The print service I order from uses Fujicolor Crystal Archive photographic paper. The neat thing about this paper is that it is a resin-based paper which is very resistant to fading. A print with proper care can last an estimated 50 – 60 years before losing any color." }, { "question": "Do you do weddings, portraits or other events?", "answer": "I do have a fairly involved full time job so time constraints can be problematic. But from time to time I do take on other projects that are outside of my normal range. But this is usually on a basis of friends and family situation or something piqued my interest. I prefer digital over film, mostly because of the costs involved. A good lightning image in a storm that is cooperating takes what could be described as a heavy amount of exposures to catch. Out of a good night I might end up with a couple hundred exposures. And out of those only 20-30 might be really interesting or have something of merit. Out of those, only one or two might be really good. Hence, digital makes sense because the development costs alone for film in this subject makes it worthwhile. This does not mean I will not use film and in fact have a couple very special projects that require it." }, { "question": "How dangerous was it to take some of those photos?", "answer": "I will not sugar coat this but some of those lightning images involved some rather dangerous storms. But lightning in general can be unpredictable in not only how it strikes but also obviously where. When photographing lightning you always have to have an awareness for how the storm is moving and also a great sense of when it’s time to get under cover. There have been a couple times when I decided it was best to not even head out and was the wiser for it. As for the fire pictures, a very good understanding of how materials behave while either being on fire or heated irregularly is a must. Glass especially has a nasty habit of shattering when heated or cooled rapidly in a small location." }, { "question": "Where do you take most of your pictures?", "answer": "Almost all of the lightning shots are done in and around my home city of Salina Kansas. The fire images are also ironically done much to the dismay of my family in the backyard. You will also notice other locations that may crop up including Colorado and Hawaii." } ]

[ { "question": "Why do do we need a list in the first place?", "answer": "First you may wish to read [\"FAQ/LinkedLists\"] to grasp the idea of linked lists in the kernel. The main difference between the ''list_node'' and ''hlist_node'' structs is the fact that ''list_node'' is a cyclic linked list, while ''hlist_node'' is terminated by a null pointer. When first encountering this, most people are confused because they have been taught to implement hashtables differently." }, { "question": "Why do do we need a list in the first place?", "answer": "First you may wish to read [[FAQ/LinkedLists]] to grasp the idea of linked lists in the kernel. The main difference between the ''list_node'' and ''hlist_node'' structs is the fact that ''list_node'' is a cyclic linked list, while ''hlist_node'' is terminated by a null pointer. The most inner macro ''hlist_for_each_entry'' is implemented in the hlist file and simply expands to another for loop which iterates over all members of the list. The outer for loop iterates over all buckets in the hashtable (all indices of the array). The ''hlist_for_each_entry'' macro can be confusing, so you may want to read the second half of [\"FAQ/LinkedLists\"] to get an idea of how it is working. In short you need to define a pointer ''obj'' to work with while iterating and an integer ''bkt'' that will tell you which bucket you are now working with (probably the ''bkt'' will be useless in most cases).

So every bucket in the hashtable is a linked list which will hold all objects that are hashed to the same bucket. As every data structure course teaches, the idea is that the hashtable is big enough to contain all elements in different buckets, and the hash function should be good enough to distribute them uniformly, but just in case a collision does happen, the elements are chained. A good hash function should make sure you get O(1) elements into every bucket. When first encountering this, most people are confused because they have been taught to implement hashtables differently." }, { "question": "Why do do we need a list in the first place?", "answer": "First you may wish to read FAQ/LinkedLists to grasp the idea of linked lists in the kernel. The main difference between the list_node and hlist_node structs is the fact that list_node is a cyclic linked list, while hlist_node is terminated by a null pointer. The hashtable is an array of struct hlist_head pointers, where each one points to a different list, and each one of those lists holds all elements that are hashed to the same bucket. So every element is essentially part of a hlist and the hashtable only holds the head of these lists. Now we have an element that can be added to a hashtable, so lets define a hashtable. Notice that we use the number of bits to define a hashtable and not the size, so the following declaration will have 8 buckets. Now we have a hashtable called a with 8 buckets each consisting of a list (pointing to NULL), and an element that we want to add to the hashtable. But first we need to decide about a key for the element. In this example we simply use the data as a hash key, note that this is NOT the bucket it's going into. As you can see the hash_min macro decide into which bucket the element will go. It is using golden ratio constants to calculate, deterministically, a random number from any key. You don't need to worry about the size or randomness of the key. This will add the element first to the hashtable, notice that our hashtable has only 8 buckets but the key is 10. This is fine since the hash_min macro takes care of the size and randomness. Now we have two elements in the hashtable, and we can work with them. For iterating over all elements we can use the hash_for_each macro which translates to a for loop that loops lists in all buckets. The most inner macro hlist_for_each_entry is implemented in the hlist file and simply expands to another for loop which iterates over all members of the list. The outer for loop iterates over all buckets in the hashtable (all indices of the array). The hlist_for_each_entry macro can be confusing, so you may want to read the second half of FAQ/LinkedLists to get an idea of how it is working. In short you need to define a pointer obj to work with while iterating and an integer bkt that will tell you which bucket you are now working with (probably the bkt will be useless in most cases). Back to our example, say we want to print all elements of the list. Now we can see, on a 64 bit machine, that first and third have been hashed to bucket number 1 and second has been hashed to bucket number 2.

Our health insurance policies reimburse you for costs associated with an illness or accident not covered by your government health insurance plan, such as prescription drugs, registered specialists and therapists, dental care, vision care, etc. Enrolment in a Blue Cross health plan also grants you access to our exclusive Blue Cross Member Assistance program. This members-only program gives access to health and legal advice, home care assistance and other members-only benefits. Our worldwide travel assistance takes care of your needs while you are travelling abroad. Accidental death or dismemberment, etc." }, { "question": "Who can Blue Cross insure?", "answer": "Blue Cross health insurance is available to Canadian residents. You must have a valid health insurance card from your province of residence to apply. Although Blue Cross is available across Canada, the company is run independently in each province. For example, if you are a resident of Québec, you must have a valid Québec public health insurance (RAMQ) card to purchase insurance from Québec Blue Cross. Insurance is also available to individuals who are waiting for their provincial health insurance card, including Canadian citizens returning to Canada after a long absence, individuals awaiting immigration status and individuals coming to study or work in Canada on a temporary basis, as well as visitors. Blue Cross also provides travel insurance plans for Canadians travelling abroad or outside their province of residence." }, { "question": "Can I purchase an assistance services contract?", "answer": "No. Our assistance services are available only to Blue Cross policyholders as part of a purchased travel insurance plan. But, if you are injured or become seriously ill outside of Canada, you can call Blue Cross travel assistance services even if you are not a policyholder. We will offer immediate assistance, and depending on your needs can help you facilitate repatriation to Canada. However, in these circumstances, the fees incurred will be your responsibility and must be paid in advance. For example, the costs for repatriation due to health reasons from Paris to Montréal can range from $25,000 to $45,000, depending on the type of transportation used. That's why we always recommend that you purchase a travel insurance plan before you leave your province of residence." }, { "question": "Can I replace my RAMQ insurance with a Blue Cross plan?", "answer": "No. The law requires that all residents of Québec be covered by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ). Any supplemental insurance plans cover costs that remain after coverage by government health plans." }, { "question": "Aren't all travel insurance policies the same?", "answer": "A) Yes, reading your travel insurance policy is very important and necessary. Your travel insurance certificate to ensure that the benefits listed are in fact the ones you selected and to confirm that your departure and return dates are correct. Your travel insurance policy. A contract is an agreement between two parties. You must know your responsibilities as well as those of the insurer. Above all, you must know when your coverage begins and ends, and understand what is covered and what is not. If you review your travel insurance policy thoroughly, you will be aware of what is and isn’t covered if you need to file a claim. B) No, not all travel insurance plans are equal. Policies and insurers can differ on many levels. Unfortunately, some individuals become aware of these differences only in an emergency situation, when they need the best service available. Blue Cross is the most easily recognized insurer worldwide and has many partners that together form a vast international medical network, which ensures that you have the best possible coverage, no matter where you travel." }, { "question": "Why are there always exclusions?", "answer": "Always read your policy so that you are prepared for any situation that may arise. You will find that almost all exclusions are standard in most travel insurance policies." }, { "question": "Do I have to complete a medical questionnaire?", "answer": "A distinction must be made between a health declaration and a medical questionnaire. A health declaration determines what will be covered and excluded, and indicates the travel insurance premium. The premium is based on risks associated with age, health condition and trip length. A medical questionnaire is an option offered by Blue Cross to cover specific illnesses. You are not obligated to complete this questionnaire, but in some cases it is recommended. Simply ask your doctor to complete the questionnaire and send it to us. Your health condition will be assessed by the Blue Cross medical director; if you have a pre-existing condition that does not present an increased risk, it will be covered and you can leave on your trip with peace of mind.

Under certain conditions, an extension may be granted at the end of the initial coverage period. If you want to extend your trip abroad, you must request an insurance coverage extension with your insurer. If your request is accepted, Blue Cross may extend your coverage on the condition that you remain covered by your provincial public health insurance plan for the entire duration of your stay abroad." }, { "question": "Can I purchase a travel insurance plan after I leave my province of residence?", "answer": "Unfortunately, no. You must purchase travel insurance before you leave your province of residence. I am planning a trip of more than 182 days." }, { "question": "Why can’t I get a quote online?", "answer": "Blue Cross travel insurance can be purchased only by residents holding a valid Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) public health insurance card, and most provincial health care plans hold restrictions for trip durations out of country. For trips longer than 182 days, a Blue Cross agent will verify that your RAMQ coverage has been extended before allowing you to purchase a travel insurance plan to ensure that you are properly covered. If you are planning a trip of more than 182 days, please contact us." }, { "question": "How do I extend my travel insurance coverage if I travel for longer than originally expected?", "answer": "You must contact us by phone before your contract or coverage expires.

Failure to contact us before you receive treatment could result in the denial of your claim. Our assistance team is available 24/7 and will direct you to the best available services.

Top-up coverage may only be purchased by contacting us." }, { "question": "Would I be covered if I had a planned treatment or operation during an out-of-province trip?", "answer": "Our travel insurance is designed to cover unexpected emergency medical care only, so someone awaiting a surgery or treatment cannot have the related condition covered by a travel plan. If you must receive treatment abroad, the treatment will be covered by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) only if it is pre-authorized.

This was at a time when I didn't really take good care of my hair. Because of this, my transition was terrible. I lost most of my hair due to excessive heat, lack of moisture, and abuse of weaves. - I had about two inches of hair to work with after that, from that point I wore braids/weaves until my hair was about arm-pit length. This took a considerable amount of time because I was using heat several times a week, getting my color touched-up quite frequently, and other abusive hair care practices." }, { "question": "When you did finally start taking care of your hair, what was your hair regimen?", "answer": "My regimen during that crucial time between Dec 2008 - Dec 2009 was to use as little heat as possible (I used heat about 4 times last year). I survived on braid outs, twist outs, and the occasional bun. - I shampooed and deep conditioned my hair once a week, and did protein treatments about once every 6 weeks. Keeping my hair moisturized was key in retaining length, I moisturized my hair every other day or so. Trimming my ends was also very important, I didn't want see through ends, so I braved the shears and got about (2) 1 inch cuts last year." } ]

In that case, workers were brought in from Latin America and paid $3.89 per hour. Even at Site C, 20 per cent of workers are not from B.C. Preference for hiring should be given to qualified local workers first, at a salary that allows them to support their families and invest in their own community." }, { "question": "Why does it matter if local workers are hired first?", "answer": "Hiring locally means the investment in infrastructure stays in the community, which provides a community benefit to the local economy and revitalizes job creation. Local workers are proud to build their own community." }, { "question": "Why do we need hiring provisions for apprentices?", "answer": "BC is facing a skilled trades shortage and will need to hire 12,000 new apprentices by 2021. CBAs that include worker apprenticeship ratios help meet that need, while leaving a legacy of workforce experience and employability." }, { "question": "Do CBAs cost more compared to non-CBA projects?", "answer": "Every project is different. However, research indicates that CBAs are actually less expensive. They are subject to strict timelines and they prohibit work stoppages that might otherwise cause delays. In addition, when qualified local workers are given preference, tax revenue stays in the local community. Here is a snapshot of some high-profile infrastructure projects built without CBAs, which have never been used in B.C. The Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre, which was initially built under a public-private partnership (PPP) before it failed, went almost $400 million over its original $495 million budget. The roof on BC Place Stadium was budgeted at $100-$150 million and came in at $563 million. Site C was budgeted at $8.335 billion and will cost in excess of $10 billion. I work hard for my money." }, { "question": "Why would I support something that could cost more?", "answer": "As previously stated, CBAs do not necessarily cost more. However, even if they have a greater cost on the face, they abide community interests, such as opportunities for qualified local workers, Indigenous groups, women in trades and apprentices. In addition, hiring local workers means tax dollars stay in the community, and the community is richer through a legacy of education and experience." }, { "question": "Why should preference be given to Indigenous communities and women in trades?", "answer": "The qualified candidate should just get the job. Only qualified workers would be hired. However, among those qualified workers, there would be provisions for hiring women in trades and Indigenous workers, both of whom are currently underrepresented in the trades. This will allow B.C. to meet its commitment to address the looming skilled trades shortage, while providing opportunities for groups who have traditionally not accessed these careers." } ]

Your breath will soon be fresh again. 2." }, { "question": "Is it normal to get constipated after starting Cambridge Weight Plan?", "answer": "Less frequent bowel movements may occure because Cambridge Weight Plan products are not as bulky as normal food. To combat this keep well hydrated and drink at least 2.25 litres/ 4 pints of fluid daily in addition to the water used to mix your products. If you have previously suffered with constipation, let your Consultant know before you start. Adding Cambridge Fibre to your shakes from day one may help avoid constipation. 4. I have been on Cambridge Weight Plan for two weeks and am getting cramp in my legs." }, { "question": "Is the diet causing this?", "answer": "Leg Cramps may be experienced in the initial stages of Step 1. They are caused by the increased movement of fluid in the body’s tissues as water shifts and your sodium levels change. If your symptoms persist please consult your GP or pharmacist. Your Consultant will be able to advise you further on this. 5. Just after starting Cambridge Weight Plan I suffered from diarrhoea." }, { "question": "Why is this?", "answer": "It may be advisable to consume the Cambridge Weight Plan in the form of half portions (6/8 half portions per day) initially to dilute the mineral intake. Another possible cause of continued diarrhoea is lactose intolerance. Some people cannot digest the lactose in milk products and diarrhoea can occur. If this is the case, we have a range of lactose-free products that could be used instead. 6. I have lost 19kg (3st) on the Step 1 and am now experiencing some hair loss." }, { "question": "Is this due to the Cambridge Weight Plan?", "answer": "Hair loss as a generalised thinning of the hair across the head can be associated with weight loss. The thinning can occur during and sometimes after the weight loss phase. Weight loss is not the only reason for hair thinning and we would therefore recommend you seek medical advice from your GP if you are concerned. 7." }, { "question": "Do Cambridge Weight Plan programmes affect the menstrual cycle?", "answer": "In most cases the menstrual cycle remains unchanged but for some women breakthrough bleeding or heavier periods may occur. Others may find that their periods stop for a while. Fertility may also be affected and unexpected pregnancies have been known to occur, therefore if you have been trying unsuccessfully to become pregnant, you need to be aware that during and after weight loss, fertility may increase. 9. Whenever I start Cambridge Weight Plan I feel nauseous." }, { "question": "Is this normal?", "answer": "Another option would be to have your Cambridge Weight Plan sachets as 6/8 half portions, which would split the mineral content you have each time. 10. I have developed a rash." }, { "question": "Am I allergic to Cambridge Weight plan?", "answer": "If a rash occurs while using Cambridge Weight Plan you should stop the Plan straight away. If the rash fails to settle or progresses, then seek medical advice. When the rash has subsided, if you wish to restart seek advice from your Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant on how to do this. Please refer to the Allergies/Intolerances/Choices chart on the website. Food allergies should be properly investigated and allergen-free diets should be based on sound scientific tests. 11." }, { "question": "Is this normal?", "answer": "It is normal to experience thirst on occasions when dieting. The solution is simple; drink more liquids. We recommend that users of any Cambridge Weight Plan programme drink 2.25 litres [about four pints] of water each day. There is probably very little benefit to be gained from consuming more than double our recommendation of water intake." } ]

[ { "question": "Does Freenom World&apos;s servers support Anycast?", "answer": "Freenom is about domains and DNS. As the second largest domain provider Freenom operates a large AnyCast infrastructure providing authoritative DNS services for TK, ML, GA, CF and GQ domains. This infrastructure is already in place and it&apos;s a no-brainer to offer also resolving DNS services on this large infrastructure. Freenom World&apos;s DNS resolvers are always close by, fast and we will - unlike other DNS resolvers - never store your IP address information in our logfiles. With the infrastructure of Freenom already in place there is no large additional cost to provide resolving DNS services. We want to provide Freenom&apos;s customers (with or without registered domain) the possibility to use a fast and anonymous DNS resolver at no charge. Start using Freenom World today by pointing your DNS to 80.80.80.80 and 80.80.81.81. Yes. The DNS infrastructure of Freenom uses AnyCast. This means that Freenom operates many nodes around the world bearing the same IP addresses. If one of these nodes becomes unavailable because of maintenance or successful attack other nodes will automatically take over the service. Thanks to this matured technology you can be assured that we provide a continuous uptime. With many locations around the world, the servers of Freenom World are always close by. It doesn&apos;t matter if you are in Asia, Europe, Africa, US or Canada, South America or Oceania – we have servers everywhere. We will be expanding our AnyCast network with new nodes. If you are an internet service provider and are interested in running DNS infrastructure please contact us. Most DNS resolvers are with internet service providers (ISP&apos;s). Most ISP&apos;s are very good in providing access to the internet (routing) but lack the system management capabilities to offer a fast and secure DNS resolver service. Most of these resolvers are outdated. Large advertisement networks offer DNS resolving services as well - but these DNS resolvers may record information about your internet usage to optimize any advertisements shown to you. So don&apos;t wait any longer and change your DNS to 80.80.80.80 and 80.80.81.81. In the description of DNS, known as RFC1034 and RFC1035, made in 1987, computers were slow and expensive. At that time outages were regularly occurring and AnyCast didn&apos;t exist yet. At that time it was important to have at least two servers running as your DNS resolver. Nowadays some operating systems still ask for two IP addresses. At Freenom World, 80.80.80.80 and 80.80.81.81 operate on two different physical networks (for the die-hards: 80.80.80.0/24 and 80.80.81.0/24) ensuring the continuous uptime of the DNS resolver services. Of course! We have HowTo videos available for all OSX and macOS computers. If you have older computers you can of course enter 80.80.80.80 and 80.80.81.81 as your DNS resolving service as well. Yes.

[ { "question": "What is “early-onset”/ “pediatric”/ “juvenile” bipolar disorder and why are we suddenly hearing so much about it?", "answer": "Although the terms “early-onset”, “pediatric” and “juvenile” bipolar disorder actually mean slightly different things, they are often used interchangeably as labels for a manic-depressive disorder that appears early –very early—in life. For many years it was assumed that children could not suffer the mood swings of mania or depression, but researchers are now reporting that bipolar disorder (or early temperamental features of it) can occur in very young children, and that it is much more common than previously thought." }, { "question": "Is bipolar disorder in children the same thing as bipolar disorder in adults?", "answer": "Adults diagnosed with bipolar disorder seem to experience abnormally intense moods for weeks or months at a time, but children appear to experience such rapid shifts of mood that they commonly cycle many times within the day. This cycling pattern is called ultra-ultra rapid or ultradian cycling and it is most often associated with low arousal states in the mornings (these children find it almost impossible to get up in the morning) followed by afternoons and evenings of increased energy. It is not uncommon for the first episode of the disorder to be a depressive one. But as clinical investigators have followed the course of the disorder in children, they have reported a significant rate of transition from depression into bipolar mood states. It is important to note that there are many adults whose symptom profiles look much more similar to the pediatric profile. However, just like those children, they would not qualify for a bipolar I or II diagnosis. Additionally, even those people who do qualify for a bipolar I or II diagnosis spend most of their time in a sub-syndromal state; that is, their symptoms do not meet criteria." }, { "question": "What are the symptoms in childhood, and how early can they begin?", "answer": "We have interviewed many parents who report that their children seemed different from birth, or that they noticed that something was wrong as early as 18 months. Their babies were often extremely difficult to settle, rarely slept, experienced separation anxiety, and seemed overly responsive to sensory stimulation. A child with bipolar disorder may be bossy, overbearing, extremely oppositional, and have difficulty making transitions. His or her mood can veer from morbid and hopeless to silly, giddy and goofy within very short periods of time. Some children experience social phobia, while others are extremely charismatic and risk-taking." }, { "question": "Or, if the child is oppositional, wouldn’t oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD) be the correct diagnosis?", "answer": "Several studies have reported that over 80 percent of children who have early-onset bipolar disorder will meet full criteria for ADHD. It is possible that the disorders are co-morbid–appearing together–or that ADHD-like symptoms are a part of the bipolar picture. JBRF sponsored investigators identified measures on several neurocognitive tests which are able to differentiate between ADHD and bipolar disorder. The published study can be seen here: Neuropsychological factors differentiating treated children with pediatric bipolar disorder from those with attention-deficit:hyperactivity disorder. In addition to these subtle neurocognitive differences, children with bipolar disorder exhibit more irritability, labile mood, grandiose behavior, and sleep disturbances– often accompanied by night terrors (nightmares filled with gore and life-threatening content)–than do children with ADHD. Because stimulant medications may exacerbate an underlying mood disorder, bipolar disorder should be ruled out before a stimulant is prescribed. In another JBRF sponsored study, almost all of the 120 boys and girls diagnosed with bipolar disorder met criteria for oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). You will find extensive information about how oppositional behaviors fit into the mood disorder called Fear of Harm in the following postings: Fear of harm, a possible phenotype of pediatric bipolar disorder: A dimensional approach to diagnosis for genotyping psychiatric syndromes and More About Fear, Aggression, Anxiety. The child should be evaluated for a possible bipolar disorder." }, { "question": "So how would a doctor diagnose early-onset bipolar disorder?", "answer": "The family history is an important clue in the diagnostic process. If the family history reveals mood disorders or substance abuse coming down one or both sides of the family tree, red flags should appear in the mind of the diagnostician. The illness has a strong genetic component, although it can skip a generation. Many parents are told that a proper diagnosis cannot be made until the child grows into the upper edges of adolescence–between 16 and 19 years old. This reflects outdated ideas. However, even among doctors who acknowledge that children can and should be diagnosed earlier; there is a reluctance to do so. The seriousness of the diagnosis, the effects of the medications used to treat the condition and the difficulty to tease out normal, albeit difficult, developmental behavior from behavior which warrants medical attention, often delays proper diagnosis. Objective criteria or tests would be a welcome relief. Unfortunately, the field of psychiatry is not at that point. That said, as you will read in postings under the tab “Information from JBRF Sponsored Research”, there are some very important and easily recognizable signs of the condition which JBRF investigators call Fear of Harm (FOH). Studies have shown that approximately 2/3 of children who are diagnosed with bipolar disorder or who are at risk for bipolar disorder may actually have this condition. They symptom profile of FOH is well described in this website. If you recognize your child in this description, we strongly advise you to bring the information to the attention of your child’s doctor. Several of the symptoms of FOH appear very early in life making early diagnosis and intervention more likely. To read an article which discusses those early warnings, click here ." }, { "question": "If a child hears voices or sees things, does that mean he or she is schizophrenic?", "answer": "Absolutely not. Psychotic symptoms such as delusions (fixed, irrational beliefs that could not possibly exist) and hallucinations (seeing or hearing things not seen or heard by others) can occur during both phases of bipolar disorder. In fact, they are not uncommon. Sometimes the voices and visions are compelling; often they are threatening. Quite a few children report seeing bugs or snakes or say that they see and hear satanic figures. The hallucinations can be either well formed or vague, such as a dark wind. The hallucinations often occur shortly before sleep or upon waking up." }, { "question": "What are the treatments for early-onset bipolar disorder?", "answer": "The first line of treatment is to stabilize the child’s mood and to treat sleep disturbances and psychotic symptoms if present. Once the child is stable, a therapy that helps him or her understand the nature of the illness and how it affects his or her emotions and behaviors is a critical component of a comprehensive treatment plan. Many psychiatrists simply adapt what they know about the treatment of adults to the pediatric and adolescent population. Our experience tells us that, because they are treating children and there is not much literature on the subject, many psychiatrists prescribe the drugs very cautiously. This often causes them to discount the efficacy of the treatment before it is able to reach a therapeutic dose. The result is to either pass-up an effective treatment or to question the diagnosis altogether. If a child is experiencing psychotic symptoms and/or aggressive behavior, the newer antipsychotic drugs, risperidone (Risperdal), olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel), and Aripiprazole (Abilify) are commonly prescribed. Older antipsychotics such as thioridazine (Mellaril), haloperidol (Haldol), and molindone (Moban) are old standbys. Clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorezapam (Ativan) are also used to treat anxiety states, induce sleep, and put a break on rapid-cycling swings in activity and energy. Research pursued by JBRF-sponsored investigators has accumulated impressive results by treating children characterized by Fear of Harm with intranasal ketamine. To the best of our knowledge there is nobody else in the country using this treatment regimen at this time. Upon conclusion of the Ketamine Clinical Study, we will prioritize distributing this information. It’s very risky. Several studies have reported high rates of the induction of mania or hypomania and rapid-cycling in children with bipolar disorder who are exposed to antidepressant drugs of all classes. In addition, the child may experience a marked increase in irritability and aggression. Many parents on the BPParents listserv (an on-line community of parents who communicate with each other from all over the world via E-mail) reported that their children experienced psychosis and were hospitalized subsequent to their treatment with antidepressants. Some children did well for weeks or even for three months before a switch into mania and ultra-rapid mood shifts began." }, { "question": "Can a child take antidepressants for the depressive periods after he or she is stabilized on a mood stabilizer?", "answer": "Maybe. Some children may be able to take an antidepressant for a brief period if it is opposed by a mood stabilizer. More studies need to be done so that treatment recommendations can be made." } ]

[ { "question": "Who should participate in a facilitated meeting?", "answer": "Any person with an interest in the outcome and/or decision-making authority should participate. At Sanchez and Baietto our intake process includes an assessment of recommended and required participants. It is always necessary to include professionals involved such as a guardian or trustee, or the lawyer representing an estate planning client whose adult children are in disagreement. Care managers, spouses, adult children’s spouses and adult grandchildren should be included if they exert influence in any way. Not all participants must participate in all meetings and as the facilitated meeting unfolds, information will come to light showing whether parties remain necessary or can be excused." }, { "question": "How is a facilitated meeting different from a mediation?", "answer": "Mediations are sessions where attorneys and their clients meet with a mediator to negotiate and hopefully resolve a pending legal dispute. Facilitated meetings can take place at any time and often take place prior to any legal action being initiated in order to avoid a lawsuit. Facilitated meeting can also take place during a lawsuit simply to help narrow or resolve issues and post lawsuit to resolve any remaining differences and prevent further litigation." }, { "question": "How many facilitated meetings are needed?", "answer": "The number of meetings will vary per case. Usually, there are a series of meetings with each meeting lasting about three hours. It is not normally feasible to identify issues, discuss them, hear from the participants and formulate solutions in one meeting. The dignity and type of process we are engaging in demands patience, sensitivity and thoroughness. If participants are all local, the meetings can be scheduled weekly, with time between meetings to think about the issues and possible solutions. If one or more participants are out of the local area where the meeting is held, skyping via computer is an alternative. Skyping allows non local participants to meaningfully participate in the proceeding by being both seen and heard and by said participant being able to see and hear the meeting. It is an effective way to eliminate excessive cost and include necessary out of state parties." }, { "question": "Where do the facilitated meetings take place?", "answer": "The meetings take place at a comfortable, neutral location. Possibilities include an ailing parents’ home or Assisted Living Facility (ALF)/Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), a church, temple, library, the trustee or guardian’s office, or the estate planning lawyer’s office." } ]

[ { "question": "Can I undo an order that is already paid?", "answer": "No, unfortunately, we can not ship to this country at the moment. No, we only sell our products online. Chew bags are a modern chewing tobacco, which is very similar to Swedish portion snus. The difference between chew and ordinary snus is that the tobacco leaves are cut instead of grinding. It makes the chew's tobacco pieces a little bigger and more chew friendly.One can simply keep chew the portion somewhere in the mouth, for example under the upper lip like snuff and it slowly comes to deliver taste and nicotine. If you occasionally chew on the serving, you immediately generate an immediate higher release of both taste and nicotine.

Any fees such as customs duties and taxes will be paid by the recipient in your own country, and here you also have a personal responsibility as a customer. Queenofsnus disclaims all responsibility from the possibility of solving or sending replacement goods if the goods have been seized in customs. Therefore, it is your final customer / buyer who is liable to pay taxes and customs duties and to keep an eye on any rules regarding this in your country according to their regulations.

The new Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) will sell pot in Quebec. It will start with 20 retail stores, including four in Montreal, and an online outlet. The province says it will gradually increase the number of shops. Locations have not been announced, but stores will not be close to places frequented by minors, such as schools. Those under 18 will not be allowed to enter the outlets. Retail outlets will not provide free samples or allow people to try the product on site. However, the SQDC has said patrons will be permitted to sniff products before purchasing. To prevent minors from making purchases on the SQDC’s online store, recipients will have to show ID upon delivery and packages will not be left unattended at the door. Quebec’s pot retailer will be a subsidiary of the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ), the province’s monopoly liquor-store chain. The SAQ will not sell pot in its stores or via its website." }, { "question": "What kind of cannabis products will be sold?", "answer": "Quebecers will be able to buy dried and fresh cannabis, cannabis oil and cannabis accessories. Edible products will not be sold because Ottawa has said they will initially not be legal." }, { "question": "Are there restrictions on the amount I can purchase or keep at home?", "answer": "You can buy only 30 grams at a time. A maximum of 150 grams can be kept in a household, no matter how many people live there." }, { "question": "How much will pot cost?", "answer": "Prices have not been announced, but the SQDC has said it aims to have an average price of about $6 a gram. The price has to be “attractive enough to discourage illegal sales but not so low as to encourage people to increase their consumption,” Quebec has said." }, { "question": "Where will I be able to smoke pot?", "answer": "In most parts of Quebec, you will be allowed to consume pot in the same places where you can smoke cigarettes." }, { "question": "Where will pot possession and smoking be banned?", "answer": "Possession will be prohibited in daycares, schools and CEGEPs. Smoking will be forbidden in restaurants, bars, workplaces, hospitals and post-secondary institutions, as well as in common areas of residential buildings comprising two or more dwellings. In places where it’s verboten, you won’t be allowed to smoke pot within nine metres of the entrance. Pot users will also not be allowed to light up in playgrounds, wading pools and water parks and other areas frequented by children, or within a nine-metre perimeter around them." }, { "question": "Can I smoke pot at home?", "answer": "Yes, unless your lease stipulates that you can’t. Landlords will have 90 days after the bill comes into effect to add no-pot restrictions to leases." }, { "question": "Can I smoke pot and then drive a car?", "answer": "The law bans anybody from driving with cannabis or any other illicit drug in their system. Drivers will have to submit saliva samples and police could immediately suspend a scofflaw’s driver’s licence for 90 days. Read more cannabis coverage here.

[ { "question": "Should I use a sender number or alphanumeric sender ID?", "answer": "We normally recommend that you use a local phone number as a sender. It will reassure your customer to see a local number, and this way they will be able to use the 'STOP' functionality, meaning they can reply 'STOP' to the SMS in order to be unsubscribed. Please note however that your choice of sender number or sender ID may be determined by local laws and regulations." }, { "question": "Why do I not see a sender number or sender ID in the SMS Editor dropdown?", "answer": "We need to purchase sender numbers from our SMS partner Nexmo, so perhaps we haven't received the number yet. Please log a support ticket with your Customer Success Manager in order to request a sender number or ID to be added." }, { "question": "How do I choose to send SMS messages rather than emails to my customers?", "answer": "If you have SMS activated in your system, any customer records you upload without email address but with mobile phone number will receive an SMS instead of an email. The principle is that email is the preferred method of communication, and only if you do not have your customer's email address would an SMS be sent. Of course if you prefer to send SMS invitations to your customers you can simply leave out their email addresses from your data upload." }, { "question": "What happens if I (accidentally) try to send an SMS invite to a landline number?", "answer": "Our system cannot differentiate mobile numbers from landline numbers, because there is no globally applicable method of distinguishing them based on the number itself. Hence we will accept landline numbers and attempt to send an SMS invitation. Whether the message can be delivered depends on the carrier (the landline service provider). Some carriers support SMS delivery on compatible handsets, some convert the message to voice and deliver it via a phone call. In many cases however, the message will simply fail. It will still count towards your SMS limit, so unless you know for certain that SMS messages can be delivered to landline numbers in your area, you should make sure you do not upload landline numbers for SMS delivery." } ]

[ { "question": "What kinds of backgrounds and props do you use?", "answer": "I’ve moved several times in the past few years so I try to keep things very minimal. Some large stone tiles in my house, kiln shelves from a wood fired kiln, linens, ceramics I love. I try to use items I like to have in the house as regular pieces instead of junk that’s hidden away and only brought out for photos." }, { "question": "Can we send you our product in exchange for review?", "answer": "I don’t write posts or share on social media in exchange for product.

I'm not very technical." }, { "question": "Can I still take this course?", "answer": "This is a very practical class and emphasis is placed on page design as well as coding and using other technologies. Most students find that, much to their surprise, web design is just as creative as technical. The purpose of the certificate is to allow students to familiarize themselves with all practical aspects of web design, and get a little insider knowledge in the process. Don't worry: Mac or PC users, graphic designers, programmers, casual users... whatever your comfort level, you will end the certificate with a clear understanding and the ability to take your web skills above those of the average HTMLer. I'm not very artistic." }, { "question": "Will that be a problem for this course?", "answer": "You aren't expected to create gorgeous pages in this class. You are practicing the concepts so that you can take that knowledge and begin to build your web design skills. While graphics do add visual appeal and I highly recommend them, you aren't required to even have graphics on your site, if your skill level isn't there yet. Once you join the classroom, I offer some possible resources that offer free graphics with no royalties, so it is possible to use images you find on the Internet to use for your pages." }, { "question": "Can I take this course if I don't know HTML very well or at all?", "answer": "Yes! In fact, that is the purpose of the first course: for you to successfully complete this course with a good working knowledge of HTML without knowledge of using an HTML editor. You are required to hand code your pages, so you should know your way around a keyboard, but that will definitely make you more comfortable using an HTML editor. I've been doing web sites for [x] years." }, { "question": "Should I take these courses?", "answer": "It depends on what kind of training you've already had in web design. Knowing how to PROPERLY code is the first thing; but knowing that and how to place the elements on a page to create a well designed page is what will set you apart from the rest of the world. Take a look at the course information; if you see a skillset or section listed that you are not familiar with, then chances are this course will add to your present knowledge and would be useful. If you're still not sure, feel free to e-mail me so we can talk about where you'll feel most comfortable. I want to build the next [Facebook/iTunes/etc.]..." }, { "question": "What's the difference between a Certificate program and a Certification program?", "answer": "This is a certificate, not a certification. A certificate affirms that you completed a course of study at a college or university. A certification comes from a professional organization, certifying that you passed a test for a certain body of knowledge. Upon completion of this certificate, you can qualify to take the Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) Exam; you can also find certification exams online or through other providers (usually at an additional cost; student and teacher discounts may apply)." }, { "question": "What happens if my schedule conflicts with the class schedule, or a class is full or gets cancelled?", "answer": "a schedule conflict or cancellation, don't worry... You are more than welcome to take the course in a later term, and apply for the certificate once you've taken all of the required courses. the class being full... Try contacting the Registration Office (310.243.2741 or ceereg@csudh.edu) and asking to be placed on the waitlist for the class. A second class could be opened in the same term if there are enough waitlisted students (so don't give up!)." }, { "question": "What does the program cost?", "answer": "Courses are scheduled for the benefit of working adults, and are held Friday evenings and Saturday days. Courses are offered 3 times a year. Fees for each course are contained in the schedule, which can be found on the class links above, and at https://www.csudh.edu/ceie/web-design/courses. Classes are held on the campus at CSUDH, in the Extended Education building." }, { "question": "I have a job - can I fit this course — and realistically, homework — into my schedule?", "answer": "The classes are very flexible. For this certificate program, your assignments are your in-class projects. Just a note: The classes are pretty fast-paced, and it is best not to get too far behind, especially when we go over lessons and examples during our \"marathon sessions\"." }, { "question": "What if I don't want to take all the courses?", "answer": "If you're not really interested in earning the full certificate, don't feel pressured... You can pick and choose which classes you want (as long as you can meet the pre-requisite for starting each). Financial aid is not available for non-credit programs. However, student loans are available through Sallie Mae at https://www.salliemae.com/student-loans/career-training-smart-option-student-loan. The courses also qualify under CalJobs and i-Train.org eligible vendors." }, { "question": "How long does it take to receive the certificate?", "answer": "You will receive an Application for Certificate form during the final classes. Once you've completed the pre-requisite courses, the program office will verify and process your university transcript, after which certificates are printed, signed off, and mailed out directly to you (or you may request to pick it up from the program office). The process typically takes up to one month after completion of a term; you may contact the program office directly if you have more specific questions about your certificate. All class projects are actually examples of you putting your new-found skills to work! When you complete a skillset or assignment, we review each student's progress in a roundtable forum, with helpful feedback from both myself and your fellow students (your potential web audience) alike. I do not actually grade assignments, other than indicating whether they \"pass\" or are \"incomplete\"." }, { "question": "How much time will it take to complete each assignment?", "answer": "A lot depends on how comfortable the student is with coding (or using an editor) and typing speed, as well as how quickly they pick up the concepts. Many students need a little extra help, so some additional time should be added for making changes to their pages; other students pick up quickly and will work at a faster pace. I will take time to answer all questions, so bear with us!" }, { "question": "Do students get to choose the site they want to work on?", "answer": "Students decide first what type of site they want to create (or redesign, if they are currently working on a site or want to use one of several sample sites I provide you). The student sites are reviewed toward the end the certificate coursework; as you work through each assignment, you may be asked to practice on a particular assignment, and then you may work on a page or site of your own choice." }, { "question": "Or how to use FTP software?", "answer": "Yes! If you already have a web hosting provider account setup, you will be able to access it to learn how to properly manage your web files through FTP." }, { "question": "Can you guide me through the process of updating my website?", "answer": "The focus of the course is to teach web design concepts and better execution, and along the process, those who have a web site they want to improve, find that the information presented gives them what they need to create a better web site. I do help the students through the process, but it's based on how they apply the concepts. I don't tell students how to initially design their page(s), but once they post their assignment, then I help them by pointing out where they might improve it (by applying the concepts they've learned)." }, { "question": "Do you know where I can buy the software at a good price?", "answer": "Nope, you do NOT have to have Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) subscription service at the start of the program; we'll be hand-coding all of our work in the classes prior to the Dreamweaver class, specifically with the intent of making sure everyone knows how to code HTML without any kind of editor... so no worries! If you'd like to try out Adobe CC before you buy it, you can download a free, fully functional 7-day trial version of the Adobe Creative Cloud (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash/Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat all included) to test out. If you do decide you that you intend to use the software extensively, while you're enrolled in the certificate program, your student status grants you access to student discounts through Adobe.com directly, and through education resellers (my favorites are JourneyEd.com, AcademicSuperStore.com, and Amazon.com) through which you can make your purchases; in addition to software, the resellers also provide books, resource materials, and electronics (like USB flash/thumb drives)." }, { "question": "What is the minimum software that I need to have in order to complete this certificate?", "answer": "If you are familiar with hand coding HTML, you don't need any software for creating the actual page, other than a plain text editor, such as WordPad (Windows). Otherwise, you are free to use any HTML editor you wish, but it's not required. You may download a trial version of Adobe Creative Cloud applications (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash/Animate) by visiting their site at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/. You will also need either pre-existing images or a graphics editor, such as Adobe's Fireworks, Illustrator, or PhotoShop programs (see previous) or an online tool like Gravit or Google Draw." }, { "question": "I can't find the link information about any required textbooks for this course... can you direct me to it?", "answer": "Nope... because there aren't any required textbooks! However, I do provide recommended reading for each course (which may help considering there are a zillion books on web design out nowadays). If you are running out of time before the course starts, or if you don't want to spend a lot of money for books, you might check your local library for any resources you can borrow instead of or in addition to getting your own copy. Otherwise, check the Optional Recommended Reading List provided on each course page. The Adobe logo, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash are trademarks of Adobe Systems." } ]

[ { "question": "Now what do I do?", "answer": "All new sociology graduate students should have received a welcome packet from the Office of Admission; your next steps are outlined in this packet. The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences has also compiled a \"Next Steps\" page. For students admitted in autumn, the Department of Sociology typically hosts an orientation on the evening before classes begin. The Director of Sociology Graduate Studies will contact you with an invitation and more details." }, { "question": "What courses should I enroll in during my first term?", "answer": "Log into CampusConnect and check the courses that will be offered during the term you will begin. In the autumn, enroll in SOC 404: Classical and Modern Theory. If you have a SOC 402: Statistics for the Social Sciences condition (check your admission letter), enroll in that course as well. If you do not have a SOC 402 condition, scan the electives and enroll in any course in which you are particularly interested. Moving beyond the first quarter, it is recommended that you enroll in SOC 405: Sociological Perspectives (a contemporary theory course) and SOC 411: Research Methods. In the spring, it is recommended that you enroll in either SOC 412: Data Analysis or SOC 413: Qualitative Methods and an elective in which you are interested." }, { "question": "May I take a course as an independent study?", "answer": "All students must complete a final writing project, in addition to coursework, in order to earn the MA in Sociology. Please note that regardless of the type of writing project you choose, if your project will involve human subjects, you will need approval from the Local Review Board (Department of Sociology) and the Institutional Review Board (IRB)." }, { "question": "What are the options for the final writing project?", "answer": "A literature review writing project requires students to examine a body of sociological literature on a topic selected by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor. The review is typically 30-40 pages long (but may be longer). While there is no fixed number of required references, generally a literature review cites 75-150 references. Depending on the topic, the paper might review the last ten years of literature, present sides in an ongoing debate, and/or discuss the emergence of the topic as a field of sociological study." }, { "question": "What is an organizational case study?", "answer": "An organizational case study writing project offers students the opportunity to conduct a structured evaluation/analysis of an organization, generally with which they are already familiar, such as their work place or internship or volunteer organization. The Research Project is a report of an original empirical research project, which could involve collection of data or an analysis of existing data (i.e. secondary data analysis). Students select a topic in consultation with a faculty advisor. One way to think of the research project is that it is similar in format to a journal article. It should include an abstract, an introduction, a statement of research question, a review of relevant previous literature, a methods section, an analysis, and a discussion/implications setion. This writing project is usually 20-30 pages long, although inclusion of tables and graphs can make it substantially longer. An appendix including samples of research tools employed, such as a questionnaire or an interview schedule, is also typically inclulded. In recent years, students have carried out research projects that they designed in SOC 411: Social Research and SOC 412: Data Analysis or SOC 413: Qualitative Methods. The thesis is usually a large and theoretically complex research project. It is distinguished from the research project by its originality, discipline and depth. Like the research project, it might be based on a new research design, a significant researchable question, a replication or extension of existing research, or secondary analysis of a data set. A thesis, however, is much longer than the literature review or research project format. Typically, a thesis is about 90 pages long and includes many pages of tables, figures, and appendices. Whereas the research project is similar to a journal article, the thesis is similar to a short book with chapters. A thesis requires a three-person committee, which approves a substantial and detailed proposal (usually 10-12 pages), before field work and data collection begin. A thesis proposal hearing is required at the start of the project and an oral presentation is required at its completion. All students who are completing the thesis must enroll in SOC 500: Thesis Research. This is not a course with a meeting time is conducted similar to an independent study. Enrollment is only by permission of the department chair (see below- How do I sign up for SOC 500: Thesis Research). So I've decided to write the thesis." }, { "question": "How do I sign up for SOC 500: Thesis Research?", "answer": "List your name and student ID number. List your complete committee (chair and 2 additional readers are required for the thesis). Attach a draft of a proposal for your project. This must have been approved by the chair of your committee. If you are doing any research regarding human subjects, attach a draft of your IRB proposal." }, { "question": "Is there some way that I can remain an active student while I'm writing my final writing project?", "answer": "There are two options that carry ZERO credit hours but allow students to maintain active student status.
